How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Interesting egg day.

There were three eggs in two nesting boxes, and Naomi, a Dominique, was squatting in the third box. I put some grape bits in the flock's "treat" tray and Naomi came running waddling over, her fluffy butt hanging low. I picked her up and a damp egg fell down! It didn't crack, thankfully.

I left the run for a few minutes but when I came back in to clean out their watering tub I heard a crunch, and saw where I had stepped on an egg near the door...but it was a fairy egg!

Both events were firsts for me.

Oh, and the fairy egg didn't have a yolk.

I picked up a pullet to put her in a nest box so she wouldn’t lay on the hay, and plop! And egg dropped from her onto the barn floor - they chickens had grand time eating that!

Now I just leave them be, have to say everyone seems to be laying it the nest boxes - got 17 eggs today.
