And he probably knows more about religions than people who follow a particular faith. A few years back there was an online poll from a reputable polling company. The people who answered the most questions correctly were Atheists, followed by Mormons. People of a particular faith generally did well with the questions related to that faith (but more atheists knew that Mother Teresa was Catholic than Catholics did!
) and poorly on the ones for all other faiths.
Same here with my second Black Jersey Giant. Got a very dark one 2 days ago, at first I thought it was from the White Rock that lays darker than the other but it was darker still so it couldn't be given she has been pretty consistent and later in the day I got one from each of the WRs. So it HAD to be a JG. When I opened the barn yesterday only 15 girls came out and one of the JGs was missing. Yep, in the nest laying her second egg (I thought).
When I got them all back to the barn about 10 so we could head to my in-laws, Eos was just finishing up her aqua egg. The BJG egg was quite a bit lighter than the one from the day before and I decided maybe she just went overboard tinting her first egg. Wife said maybe it was the other BJG but I wasn't sure.
We got back from the in-laws about 8 PM and I went out to collect whatever else had been laid. FOUR more eggs and one was the same very dark brown as the prior day! Unless Athena is laying the same green color as Penelope, she is the only one of the June pullets not yet laying.
This was easier with the older hens when they first started laying, they ALL squatted from me starting about a week before. NONE of these broody raised birds squat except when one of the older lazy butt girls jumps them so the "early notice" system doesn't work. They have all had red faces for a fairly long time and only Athena's comb is still noticeably smaller than the 2 EEs that are laying. But I think she is close.
