She didn't even slow down.

Just saw the most amazing sight. I happened to walk outside just as my 4 BSLs came running out of woods towards next clump of trees near house. I saw one was running kind of funny. She was running and squatting up and down at same time. She didn't even slow down or bother to sit down when the egg just fell out of her and she kept on running. I was sure it would be broken - but no - perfect egg. I wonder how many eggs I'm losing to their free ranging? I thought they would return to nest boxes to lay, as some of they have, but this was the most amazing sight - a chicken in full run - just drop an egg out and not even slow down. So much for the ole nesting instinct.

 

Well, in her defense, there's 4 of them and they just started laying this week and since I can't tell them apart I'm not sure who has been laying and who hasn't. It could have been her first and she didn't know what was happening. It was really funny and if I had not walked outside when I did I would have missed it and the egg would have just laid there in my yard till it rotted or something ate it.
