We left Elizabeth's four hens in the very able and loving care of neighbor Laura Morrison while we visited Rick's family in Florida for his Dad's 90th Birthday. When we returned from Florida, Jemi discovered this first egg, neatly deposited in the nesting box. Alas, probably due to the lack of hay in the box, the end of the egg was damaged.
(Technically, this may be the second egg, actually, because Laura reported seeing a broken shell in the coop).
The great news, however, is that there's been one egg a day ever since! No way to tell exactly which chicken is laying them, but we'd guess it's Omelette-dala or our other Sex-Linked, Princess Layah, since they seem larger and more mature than the two Golden Comets.
Such lovely brown eggs. Beautiful work, ladies! (And a yummy egg sandwich for Eleanor and Mom's lunch).
