Snow’s normal egg

Snow had laid two days running. The eggs were the slightly odd shape that they have been since she started laying the odd eggs inside eggs. On the third day the weird three bits joined egg of my last post appeared in the run and I naturally assumed that was from snow too.

But the following day Snow was in the nest box and I really didn’t expect her to lay again. When Snow came out there was her egg and it was perfectly normal like her eggs used to be. It was not only smooth in shape but was the, long, torpedo shape that her eggs used to be.

The egg on the right was from two days ago and is the shape that all her recent eggs have been but with less wobble than they have had. The egg on the left is her most recent egg and is the shape that her eggs always used to be and is also smooth shelled.

We are now thinking that the weird one from a few days ago wasn’t from Snow after all. We are thinking that it was from Autumn. Autumn laid from October until the first of February last year and hasn’t laid since.

Also Autumn is looking a bit off. She has spent the day either standing or sitting. She isn’t active and she has a dead look in her eye. She has lost her sparkle.

Autumn has the look in her eyes that she had when she was stripping off her scales. We know these girls so well that we know something is adrift with her. Time will tell.
