CONGRATS!!!!

I get excited every day when I go down and collect eggs. I've been getting 8/12 the last few days.

So Sophia's cranked out 3 eggs over the past four days...but our other 'lorp, Dorothy, has not begun to lay yet (neither have the cochins, but I expected them to start later).

Any idea if "egg laying" is contagious, or if perhaps Dorothy should start fairly soon?

I started with 1 egg, they a few days later 2, then 4 then 8, 10 yesterday and 9 today. Of course it has been about 3 weeks now, so it wasn't suddenly, but they are catching on.

Yes, that's the egg song.

SPEAKING of the Egg Song...

It would be awesome if my girls belted this one out, anime-video style:
