An egg, an egg!

I was so excited to see one today! Over summer two out of the three chickens got broody and sat on the nest for almost 3mths - so we were down to one egg over that time. Then one of the chickens laid an egg and the next day she died - possibly dehydration from sitting on the nest too much (despite me taking her off the nest several times a day to get food and water). Then we went away on holiday for 10 days towards the end of March - my chicken carers were retrieving one egg a day. Upon our return there were then no longer any more eggs and the reason soon became clear - the two remaining chickens started to moult with Autumn arriving. So...that started 8wks ago almost to the day, and just the other night I was googling how long they would be off the lay for and read from 2-3mths. So it was nice timing to have an egg waiting down for us there today. Let's hope that both of them are back into production!
