How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[Smokerbill]

5 this morning so far.

Late yesterday evening I watched as one of the girls took the "I'm going to drop a soft egg" pose. And sure enough, a minute later a soft shell egg dropped out.

It didn't last long. The other chickens recognize the "pose" and were waiting for the snack. One grabbed the soft shell, carried it a couple feet and swallowed it in a single gulp. The others pecked in the grass and ate all of the yolk and white.

It used to gross me out seeing this behavior, but I'm used to it now. At least they don't eat the hard shell eggs in the nest.

Just 3 when I had to head into work. Had one girl in the favorite nest box and another in line. There were 2 unoccupied boxes but cosmo won’t lay anywhere but her favorite box. She would rather pace back and forth while waiting.

I got 4 eggs yesterday with 2 surprises , a big pointy double yolk and a green egg which had to come from one of my easter eggers. Did not think easter eggers laid green eggs.
