They has 'em!

Even if it doesn't look like it here.

We went away for a peasant weekend and came back to two young ladies who are no longer point of lay but full-fledged layers. Including the little brown egg in the most inaccessible part of the run.

Yesterday, in the howling gale and torrential rain, I tried to move the egg, with the aid of a long stick, to a more convenient place. I failed.

This morning, it had been repositioned for us.

(M still had to take the run part to reach it.)

On Saturday morning, we left a single egg in the helter-skelter. Today we have ten (and I've used at least one since Monday). Can haz glut.

My father* used to have a small net on a long stick for getting eggs from odd corners. We would occasionally find one handy.

Our hens started acting like a flock while we were on holiday. And they all lay on most days, so adaese is making egg-filled pies, and chocolate cheesecake brownies, and ... :-)

*He was a gamekeeper.

Ah, yes, the "must cook eggs, must cook more eggs!" problem.

And isn't it lovely when they finally bond. Ours have too. I might risk tidying the anti-peck spray away (I think I failed to blog that Looby Loo got me in the face with it).

And one of ours (Amber or Bluebell, tho' we're not sure which) has laid four - count 'em, four - double yolkers in the last eight days.

That's very generous of her--whichever her it is!
