She is so routine. She laid twenty eggs then took fourteen days off to go broody and moult, laid twenty one eggs, then took another fourteen days off to go broody and moult and then started laying again. Just like last time she laid her first two eggs then missed a day then laid her third egg at first light (or just before) before the automatic door had opened.<\/p>\n<p>Her egg was under the perch where she had been roosting and the advantage of the perches now being lower is that her egg was intact. She is smart too and knows what she needs. She went to the grit and oyster shell before bedtime.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12969\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17728.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12969\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12969\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17728.jpg\" alt=\"Butterscotch goes to the grit and oyster shell\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17728.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17728-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Butterscotch goes to the grit and oyster shell<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_12970\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17727.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12970\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12970\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17727.jpg\" alt=\"Butterscotch is at the grit\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17727.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SDC17727-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12970\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Butterscotch at the grit<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Butterscotch has a lovely fluffy bottom and it&#8217;s not noticeable at all that she has been dropping a trail of feathers.<\/p>\n<p>She is such a business like girl, full of character.
