0/5 I'm blaming all the rain.

7 out of 7 again. One had a little divot broken into the shell, I guess from dropping directly on another egg when it was laid. The membrane didn't break so it's still edible.

Weird thing, the chickens almost always push the fake egg out of the way so they're not sitting on it. They prefer the feel of real eggs under their breasts.

I have a few that want to hatch those fake eggs.
Came out with 10 again from the big girls, 1 banty egg.

2 today, from Juin and Juillet.

Another shared nest box moment, but I ended up pulling Juin out when Juillet stood up to show me triumphantly that she had stolen Juin’s egg to sit on. Juillet would not stop pecking her, not enough to draw blood, but enough to make her squeak in protest, and I’m suspicious that she may have yanked a couple feathers. Juin was still too wobbly-legged to get herself up, so I figured she’d be better off resting in my lap than being harassed. She soon got her energy back and went running off for more breakfast.

That's interesting. I wonder how they know.
