More eggs!

This morning Eric went out to collect our more or less daily egg and found an unexpected egg sitting out in the run. The second egg was lighter than those we've been getting (the new egg is on the right in the photo, from the old batch on the left), and it's unlikely The Colonel was in double-time laying mode anyway, so it's almost certainly another chicken. Given her odd posture yesterday, I'm guessing it was the Pol Pot chicken. It was certainly the Colonel bitch-chicken that pecked and broke this new egg when Eric took it out of the run. Jerk. Sadly we had to throw it away. Hopefully that was a one time thing. Next addition to the coop: laying boxes! (And, if we're particularly industrious, the roost needs to be moved, or a lower one added.)
