Hi

 

The girls are both laying, and about a week ago Treacle went from laying pullet sized eggs to bigger eggs.

 

Biscuit was a littl way behind in the laying stakes. She started laying in the nesting box, no problems. But a few days ago there was one of her eggs in the run. Didn't collect it (dashing back to work), then it disappeared, didn't think anything of it. Saw then next one collected it. Next one was there, and then gone. And the next day, I found a broken egg actually in the dropping tray (did they get it in there and just sort of swoshed it in).

 

So... what do I do ? Do a get an egg,blow it, fill it with mustard and other horrid bits and put it in the run ? Do I get a china egg and put it in the nesting box to give Biscuit a clue where to go ? Might she want to lay the same time as Treacle, but Treacle has already got bags on the nesting box.

 

And.... have managed to pick them up several times. Treacle loves it, Biscuit complains and shouts at me

 

Thanks
