Butterscotch laid her first egg after her two week break the day before yesterday. Her first egg is often a small one as this one was. I think because she is moulting at the moment she missed laying the next day. Whenever she misses a day she always lays at first light the next morning and often lays a bigger egg after a missed day.
This morning was no exception and there under her roost spot first thing this morning was a larger egg.
Butterscotch’s eggs
Her first egg is on the left and today’s egg is on the right.
Five recent eggs
I think the egg on the left is Topaz’s larger egg. The middle two are Butterscotch’s and I think the two on the right are Barley’s eggs.
We will have our own eggs for breakfast tomorrow and hopefully there will soon be more on the way.

Woo Hoo. I didn’t get a single egg today and it’s Valentines Day. Where’s the love, ladies? PS: I LOVE your little egg holder. Very sweet.
Valentines day I had my second “two egg day” since August. We had two eggs each for breakfast. The egg holder was a Christmas present from my husband and is just perfect for photographing our eggs.
Hope you’re right about Topaz:)
We’re getting quite a few eggs now, with new pullets laying for the first time – trouble is, I just dont know who’s produced which egg!
Yesterday Butterscotch had already laid then Topaz came out of the nest box and there was another egg so once again I am chalking it up to Topaz but I really can’t be sure. I am not catching any of the other girls sitting so it’s guess work and I can’t be really sure that Topaz has laid any of them as she sits in the nest box all the time. Honey has also started looking in the nest box. I wish they could write their names on their eggs.
