I finally found an egg laid today after a winter hiatus and it was broken in the nest. It wasn't eaten though, so I'm thinking soft shell. But, I'm not sure who laid it as all of the hens are still looking pretty pale. Only my cockerel has a red comb.


). It realistically has to be either Isolde or Neela laying those eggs (unless someone's laying there during the day for some reason?), and I'm definitely leaning toward Izzy. Their vents both look very similar, so butt checks are inconclusive on them.
I get 3-4 duck eggs daily that I can't eat. So, to get even 1 chicken egg makes me happy these days.
Nothing beats eggs from your own hens!
I didn't think to take a picture this evening before I started shoveling some of it out of the way and it was dark by the time I was finished, but it's roughly knee high on me now. Hard to tell exactly how close to the knee it is when you're all suited up in a ton of snow gear!
