it was VERY windy here today.. and my girls didn't want to fly out of their "run/coop" area like they normally do...and the nesting box is out of that area and by the house...
what happens when they can't get to the nesting box??
can they just hold the egg till they're ready to lay it? does this screw them up at all??
would she have found a place to lay in the coop area??
i did take one of my girls and put her in the nesting box, and she laid.. but then the egg was a different color than the one i had been picking up the last 2 days, so i think i grabbed the wrong hen and a second one of my EE's has started laying.. lol..
but now i feel bad that the other girl didn't get to lay her egg.....
