Ever since the girls have started laying I have had an egg each day off of the brown one and the grey one but no more off of Daisy. This makes me think that she never laid an egg in the first place. I think the grey one laid 2 eggs in her first day – one in the morning and one in the late afternoon. That would explain why her eggs were so small. Also, Daisy has just started to do the squatting thing when I approach her from behind. The fact that she wasn’t doing this already makes me think that she is not laying yet (but hopefully will be soon).
I got another broken egg today off of the floor of the coop – the grey one is still laying there. I decided to put a bit more bedding down on the coop floor to see if that can cushion the impact a little bit. It seems like such a waste to be throwing her eggs away…
I have also been asking for name suggestions for the brown on on the forums at Down the Lane. I am going to try and keep the thread going for a couple of days and then pick one of the suggestions.
