Three Nest Boxes Full

Shhhh.... very quietly I opened the nest box door...

This Light Brahma, Pastey, doesn't want my company.

The Australorp, Hen Roo, doesn't want any attention either.

Screamer won't even stay in the nest box.

Laying eggs is a private affair.

See you girls in an hour or so... 

When I checked back later, 

I moved the three eggs down to the large nest box 

and set them next to the three wooden eggs 

so I could get a photo.

Each of the three nest boxes on top 

have two wooden eggs.

The hens seem to like sitting on the fake eggs. 

I haven't seen the mysterious 

egg thief... no broken or scratched eggs.

I hope it is gone for good.

It was cold and icy this morning 

but I let the hens out and they had a great day 

turning over leaves and the wet soil.

Looks like a rototiller hit in places.

3 eggs today
