2 today. A large brown egg from Bossy earlier and a white Banty egg from Goldie this evening. Jade is still on broody protocol and Flossy is still on stall rest.
3 out of four today. My sis got an egg from Bossy earlier. I checked after I got home from a half day at work and found an egg in the “chicken hospital” with Flossy and a Banty egg from Goldie in the coop. Jade is in broody Banty protocol, so she’s squawking her displeasure at every opportunity.
1 today..Bossy got lazy and laid an egg in the grass next to the coop. They’ve been free ranging all day today. I got Jade out of the nest box and set her up in a wire cage to break her broodiness. She is NOT happy! Flossy is still on stall rest and also not happy, but her swollen foot seems to...
3 today. Two GC and one Banty egg from Goldie. Caught Jade sitting on them again so she’ll be back on broody protocol soon. I’ve had Flossy separated for a couple days. She has a swollen foot, but no obvious bumble. Haven’t seen her lay any eggs since before I separated her but I got one today...
2 today…found a large Bossy egg when I got home at midday. There may have been a shell-less egg too, because I saw a yolky mess in the nest box. This evening when I went down to feed the horse, I stopped by the henhouse and found Goldie stepping away from a warm egg.
3.sort of. I’m off today and just went down to check the coop. Found a nice big light brown egg from Bossy and a soft-shelled egg that I think came from Jade from the shape. It’s a little smaller than her usual but Goldie’s eggs are pointy on one end and round on the other. I busted it for the...
One from the GC girls today. Thought both the banties were still broody, bc I didn’t see them in the run as I walked down to the coop. But they both trotted down the ramp as I walked up and the one egg was cool when I picked it up. YAY!!!
*Update*
Flossy has been favoring one foot for a bit and...
2 when I got home from work today. I suspect Goldie was sitting on them as I did t see her outside in the run and they were warm when I picked them up. I let Jade loose so I can see if she’s over her broodiness yet or not. Tossed out some ham scraps from the breakfast casserole I made…they came...
Got 2 already today. I’m attempting to let Goldie out to free range and see if she’s over her broodiness. Jade is still spreading her wings over Goldie every chance she gets, so I’m keeping her separate for a couple more days.
