I went out to my non-laying chickens today. My black sex link got in the nest box this morning and pecked around then spun around and sat while chattering. I thought for sure FINALLY I was getting an egg. Instead the other two black sex links came up to see what she was doing. One got in the nest with her and one got in the next nest. Then, the other 8 chickens climbed up the roost to see what was going on. My black sex-link got an exasperated look on her face and got back out of the nest.
I went out this afternoon and guess what was on the ground??????
AN EGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOOHOO!!!!!!
Now the question is who did it? I thought for sure was my black sex link but the egg was on the ground where the silver-laced wyandottes sit. The black sex links all sit in the corner then the barred rocks then the SLW's and production reds. So did the black sex-links change spots or did one of my SLW's lay the egg. Hmmm I will be watching but I GOT AN EGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I came in teh house hollering. My husband thinks I have lost my mind but the kids were so eggsited.
We have all the stuff to build the new roosts today (when the heat index is not 115). I will put the hay back in the nests and maybe just maybe they will sleep on the roosts instead tonight and stay out of the nests. Now if I can just get my layer to lay in the boxes.
Did I mention I got an EGG!!!!!!!!!
