This was her first egg ever. I've now learned the behavior that precedes the first egg:
-Running back to the coop alone when free-ranging. sometimes several days in a row before the egg appears.
-Obsession with the nest boxes.
-Walking in and out of the nest box area.
- Moving other hens eggs.
-Comb reddening.
-The rooster is suddenly interested in her when he ignored her before.
Of course she laid the egg RIGHT when I ran inside to charge my camera battery. Oh well.
This is JoJo, a 26 week old favaucana pullet.
