Congrats! I thought my Rhodebad had started to lay with that mini egg. Turns out it was one of my broodys coming back into lay. Either way is good!

The broody was off the nest yesterday, and seemed broken. I took eleven eggs (10 warmish and one just laid) and left them outside. I had seen her out today, so when I went out an hour ago, I flung the eggs into the yard, breaking two. Then I walk into the pen to find... Yeah. You guessed it! I reached in, expecting to get pecked. Instead she screamed, and ran outside. Three eggs. That means four between yesterday and today.

Where are all my eggs? I was getting 5/day before she went broody. And is it worth putting her in a broody pen?

Is it possible any of them are molting? I have one girl whom I though may have been sick or getting old. She's just molting and putting out the most beautfiful feathers! It's the first molt since I've gotten her, and she is looking more gorgeous. I really hope she lived long enough for me have a Roo and continue her line!
 
Today has been the best egg day I've ever had! 24 eggs so far today....of course, the fact that I found a hidden nest with 15 eggs in it under my shed contributed. Apparently, a few more of my ameraucanas are laying now than I thought and they all followed Sky under the shed. I'm not sure what her issue is but she insists on laying anywhere but where she's supposed to. I swear, she actively seeks out anywhere other than nest boxes to lay.
