How to lay an egg

Either Henny or Penny laid an egg this morning . .  and I was able to catch the process on video.  Nesting thru crowing took about 12 minutes.   This video is of the last few minutes; you can hear the egg drop.  Oops . . . I didn’t put enough nesting material in the box.

This movie requires Adobe Flash for playback.

The girls have gotten quite big and should probably get even bigger now that I’ve switched them to layer feed.

Here are a couple of other photos from the garden.

Tom was going to throw out these old work boots, but felt bad to let them go.  Instead I put them in the garden and planted petunias.  The leather will degrade over time, but meanwhile we’ll ejoy the silly juxtoposition.

I planted a row of sunflowers for the winter birds.

Mister Man and I attended Zoofest last night.  Here’s a photo with our pal Pablo

  1. I love the clucking after the egg-laying. kind of like telling everyone about the ‘birth’. “I was in labor for 3 days!” “Oye, what a process!” “I keep laying them and they keep disappearing!” “He will never touch me again!!”
    That’s what I think Henny or Penny is saying……
