Happy Fall!
The girls are doing GREAT! Monday (or was it Tuesday?) I noticed Janie (speckled hen, 2nd from left) acting really strange when I let them out for their morning run. She just wasn't herself. That night I came home and there were only 3 eggs... so on a hunch I pulled the side and checked the other nest box. There were 3 in there - including one twice the size of any egg I've seen so far. It is GINORMOUS! That might explain why Janie wasn't moving so fast that morning!
