When 2 hens sit at one time do they produce one merged together egg?

We got the giant twofer and today two girls making eggs together. Hum....

Frankinegg!

Went out in the cold and got some current pics of the adult flock today. This is Roo #2. He never photographs well. He's really big.

Roo #1

#1 again. I don't know what is going on with his tail.

Is the run under a tree....or did you import all those leaves for your birds?

They are very pretty BTW.

There's a bunch of trees in the land lord's yard and the neighbor's yard ( my birds are in the neighbor's pasture), but only one willow by my run. I rake leaves and pine needles in the fall and grass clippings in spring and summer for the coop and run. It's a pain, but I do it anyway. My coop is very open, so pine shavings don't work well. Looks like I'll be building a new coop soon that will have one part more enclosed, so I'll use shavings in it more.

I left the fall leaves in the yard for the girls to free range in this winter. In a few weeks I will rake them up and put them in the compost bin!
