(sigh of relief) --- at last, there is Deirdre-the-pullet's egg ...
I KNOW it's hers, because she's the only one in the coop right now
all the rest are out browsing in the chicken tractor, which we sited on top of a bunch of blooming clover
she didn't want to leave the coop --- I had the run door open and all the rest were happily flying after me, tractor-wards
now I know she isn't eggbound ... this egg just slightly bigger than the one she laid a couple/three days ago, still a very pretty pale pastel minty green ... clearly different from Phoebe's palely-tinted blue one
c'mon, Christina, Anitra, Becky, and Ginger ! and given size-of-comb, that's probably the order they will start -- Ginger wants NOTHING to do with the roo .. the other three are showing certain signs of being ready
