Ginger obviously gets her eggs laid quickly because today she laid her second egg and I missed her in the nest box again. To be fair she had already laid it first thing this morning when I first went up to the girls. I knew to check the nest boxes because once more the pine shavings had been thrown out over the ramp.
The second egg on the left is slightly bigger than the first one which is usual.
I thought Red may have gone broody because she spent all day in the nest box laying her last egg. She usually lays eight and this time laid nine. Anyway she hasn’t laid since four days ago so I think she has just come to the end of her laying for this year. Red has laid for eleven months now so she is due a break.
As Red stopped laying Ginger started. Ginger laid her first egg the day after Red laid her last egg so we still have one girl laying which is lovely.

Good news, once again, well done Ginger.
She is in her stride now. I wonder how long before Silver starts. She isn’t showing any sign yet.
She really has come good, and at just the right time.
She laid her third egg today which is two days in a row, three eggs in four days. She is so quick that I still haven’t caught her in the nest box yet. It looks like she is going to be a good layer.
