Wednesday afternoon, I think Ally laid an egg while eating her snack around 4pm. I think it was her because it was white. But it was not a hard shell, so I don't know if the inner layer is the same for all and then the shell is colored?
Thursday morning, I found 1 egg in the nest. Figured we'd not get one from Ally anyway.
This morning, 2 eggs in the nest and I thought I saw one buried. I did. It was white. So I have two white eggs this morning. So did Ally lay an egg Wednesday night too and I just didn't see it yesterday (that sucker was COLD while the other 2 - 1 was warm and 1 was chilly, but not COLD like the buried one). I rooted around to see if I could find another blue egg, but didn't see one. I'll look again later when I empty their bins and wash them out.
Ally - white eggs
Blue - blue eggs
Cadbury - blue eggs
Ally - egg Wednesday am, egg Wednesday at 4pm, egg Thursday am?, egg Friday am
Blue - egg Wednesday am,
Cadbury - egg Wednesday am, egg Thursday am, egg Friday am
I think I can tell Cadbury and Blue's eggs apart (or tell one from the other, I really only have a guess which ones come from those 2). One is much more elongated and pointy while the other is more egg shaped. I think Blue gives me the pointy elongated ones. So I'm using that to base who gave me the blue eggs this week.
I don't really expect an egg a day, but should I be? And should I be worried if somebody isn't? Do I need to worry about egg binding and if so, what the heck am I looking for? And should a random mid day soft shelled egg be a concern?
They get oyster shell in a dish next to their food. They don't seem to each much of it. They get daily veggies. They find what they want in the yard.
