Great job Basil!

I'm starting to suspect Basil was my mysterious second layer rather than Ginkgo. Unless Ginkgo was my second layer and went on break the same time Basil started. Wouldn't be the first time this happened. My late girl Thyme started laying in December at the exact same time Parsley took a break. I noticed at some point the eggs I was getting were larger than usual but chalked it up to Parsley getting more experienced in laying and thus laying larger eggs. I only figured out what was going on when I caught Thyme laying an egg one morning and it was the large turquoise egg I've been getting and I was indeed still getting only one egg a day
I don't even know anymore lol
All I know for certain is Vanilla, Basil and as of earlier, Juniper are laying (unless I have a second bird who lays pinkish brown eggs)

On a related note, Lavender is expected to lay very very soon. She's been singing the egg song, checking out the nest box and seems a bit antsy

After much hype and teasing (srsly, she was, singing the egg song an sitting in the nest box acting like she was about to lay the past few mornings) I got this blue beauty from Lavender

As of today everyone is laying! Congrats to Chocolate Mint on her beautiful first egg!
