How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

hhhmmmm look's like a hen to me, sure she isn't able to hide them?

Me, hubby, daughter, & grandkids search the yard, which is completely closed in by a 6 ft solid fence, constantly. Could she go over the fence to lay somewhere? She is huge!

I have lots of tall ornamental grasses around the yard, a open bottom treehouse they find refuge under, a dog house across the yard they hide in if they hear or see something scary. I also have 2 pets ducks that babysit them. One being a huge jumbo pekin drake. His name is Hossy Boss! Lol

OUCH! How old was he when you figured it out? Maybe mine is a boy! What do you think?

She didnt like me in her space while dust bathing! Lol

She will be 33 weeks on Saturday & no eggs yet. Im hoping it is just the short days causing her not to lay, rather than her being a HE!

It looks like a hen but she does look like a black Australorps I couldn't see Copper. All 3 of my Blk Copper Marans started laying @22-24 wks, maybe she's hiding them somewhere?

Can an australorp be used to make an olive egger?

7 eggs today, but did not check the last coop. So, it could have been more.

How are things ? I am coping well think I knew what she wanted and had my chance to say goodbye and
she knew I loved her still tear up to think life without her
