Amber was in the left hand little coop and Sparkle was in the favourite right hand little coop. Topaz and Barley were watching Sparkle and shouting their heads off. I went into the house to grab my camera.<\/p>\n<p>By the time I returned Amber was out and Barley had taken her place it the left coop.

She had only laid her egg two days ago and is only laying one a week at the moment so it shouldn&#8217;t have been a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Two eggs in a day is good at the the moment though.
