Lay in

Four eggs from five girls this morning!

Milly has been laying a few eggs a week for over a month now.  A few days ago we started to get an occasional brown egg, but we didn't know who it was from.  And now we're at 4 out of 5. What a lovely surprise!

The 4th egg had a weak spot in the shell (despite oyster shell being freely available).  Need to watch out for that, as I don't want any of the Girls discovering that eggs are delicious.


I might be wrong, but I'm assuming that it's Tilda who isn't laying yet:  as her comb and wattles aren't anywhere near as bright red as everyone else.  I don't mind Tilda having a free ride.
