After Amber struggled to lay her soft shelled egg six days ago, yesterday, she laid a perfect hard shelled egg. She also laid it fairly quickly and with out any struggle. It was only five days after her last egg too, which is less of a gap than usual. I am so pleased and hopeful that she may lay normally from now on.
Honey had already laid earlier in the day followed by Bluebell and after Amber, Pepper laid too. Four eggs out of five girls and both little girls in one day which doesn’t happen often. Dotty had laid the day before so skipped a day but laid first thing this morning. It was nearly a five egg day.
Yesterday’s four eggs
Then today came another surprise, Honey laid again. It is the first time this year, since her moult, that she has laid two days in a row and last year she only laid two days in a row four times during the five months she was laying.
It looks like these girls are maturing and getting into the swing of this egg laying lark!

That is just great! I never thought I would be so interested and excited about eggs when all I need to do is pop into Tesco ( only joking honest as if I would )
I know what you mean, it is constantly exciting. I was thrilled Amber laid without problem and equally thrilled with Honey laying two days in a row. They are growing up, bless them. Every egg is a treat.
