Today we had a second egg. When I went to check for eggs this afternoon it was being sat on by Valentine - who is the lovely brown chicken who nearly had her throat ripped out by NWD last week. The injury clearly hasn't done any long term damage - but I'm not going to set NWD on the other two chickens in any vain attempt to 'hurry them up' a bit. She obviously lays her eggs around lunchtime as it wasn't there first thing this morning.
Today's egg is slightly larger than yesterdays - so hopefully in a few more days they should have evolved to normal egg size.
If they all start laying soon we will have 21 eggs per week. I shall have to set up a mail order egg business!
