The day before yesterday Honey laid her first egg, missed yesterday and laid her second egg today. The big girls laid every other day at first so this was what I expected. The funny thing is that it is obviously catching her off guard as she laid her egg in the run again today. When she laid her first egg in the run, she then went and sat in the coop for half an hour then gave up. I assumed that she hadn’t realised she had already laid it. Exactly the same thing happened today, she laid her egg in the run then went in the coop for half an hour.
All the time that Honey was in the coop Amber strutted about complaining, she obviously doesn’t like being out on her own. As soon as Honey joined her she was quiet again. For little girl’s they do know how to make their complaints heard!

Honey’s first egg has a streak of blood on it, this often happens with the first egg. Her second egg is reasonably clean considering she laid it in the run. On both the first day and today all the girl’s laid giving us our first two, four egg days. well done Honey!

Thank you. The banties are adorable even though Honey is completely clueless about where to lay her eggs. She did the same again today, laid her third egg in the run then sat in the coop for half an hour. I wonder if she will suddenly get the hang of it sometime soon! Got to love them though.
