Thanks for your advice and your welcome! What a great idea about the shinny object. I will try that. Some of your thoughts I have had too. She was early morning, and so I didn't catch her last weekend ;-) They seem to be a little "off" on their regularity, too- maybe this time of year with the short days? Sometimes a girl that looks like she wants to lay at the end of the day will roost instead and lay in the morning, or one of them skips a day about once a week. I watched most of the day, but we are building a second coop, so noone laid today after we started all the hammering and banging. It is funny about the curiousity.....one girl stood up high on a roost all day and gave us the studying eye. It was really cute. Thank you so much and I will let you know what happens tomorrow, if anything.

P.S. shot of all my eggs.......1. Brown Leghorn 2. Americauna 3. Americauna 4. Americauna 5. Bard Rock 6. Silver Laced Wyandotte 7. Sexlink

P.S.S. Do the eggs ever get larger as they start to mature? I've had the sexlink about a year now and she's been great. I guess as her's was the only egg for a long time, I never thought of it as large and I am surprised it is bigger than the Bard Rock's.
