Your basket color is beautiful! I love the variety of eggs! Catelyn looks like my Easter Egger without the dark beard! She hasn’t started laying yet at 5 months, but I hope her egg is as pretty as yours!

Molt? Broody???

Not broody. May be molt or maybe just time of year? Not sure.

Keep an eye to see if she separates herself during the day from the others. This is what each of mine started doing right as they began their soft molt(and stopped laying). It's kind of uncomfortable... I thought they were really sick or something, but couldn't find anything wrong with them.

Thanks. I will keep an eye out. I checked a few times yesterday and today since I thought she would lay yesterday then didn't, then didn't again today so wanted to be sure she wasn't egg bound but seems to be walking find and was pretty much with everyone still. Now I need to see if Annabelle lays tomorrow. I have no clue what happened this morning with her "egg" or if she did a ghost egg for the first time ever...... I searched again tonight in the run just to be sure and still came up with nothing.

Idk, that is so weird! Like you said... maybe just her first ghost egg?

And Hummer... if she's acting fine and eating/drinking/bathroom/going in to roost at night like normal then I imagine it's nothing to worry about... just crazy chicken business! Ot sure is curious, though! Too bad we can't just ask them!

@junior67 I hope all of your girls lay for you today so you can be less worried!

Thanks. So far Annabelle laid and later than when she does after a day off. So guessing there is an egg somewhere from yesterday. Lol. Nothing from Hummer still.
