Pearl's Egg Laying 1-5-10


Pearl is so funny. She does her own thing. Her laying routine the last couple weeks:

There are four nesting boxes inside the coop and two nesting boxes in the kennel. For a few days, we thought Pearl wasn't laying because they weren't in any boxes.

Parke was straightening up some stuff and found 3 frozen eggs around in the straw. I guess Pearl thought it was Easter and we were on an egg hunt. So, we started checking everywhere for her eggs.

Then she started laying in the nesting boxes in the kennel. Easier for us. That lasted a couple days.

Then she started laying in the doghouse in the kennel. And now other chickens are laying there. We have gotten up to four eggs at a time. Today I collected three in the house.

So much for providing nesting boxes.
