Who dun it?

On July 9 I published a picture of the first egg from our chickens.  It is now two weeks later and we are consistently getting 1 to 3 eggs a day.  We have eaten some of them, but here is a picture of what we have on hand at the moment.

Notice the variety in colors and sizes.   Most of them are shades of brown, except the 3 smaller ones that are cream color.  There is one humongous egg in the paper carton along with a couple of small ones.  Most of them are somewhere in between.

We've been wondering what time the chickens are laying eggs and which chickens are laying them.  So, Tom setup our wildlife camera across from the nest boxes in the chicken coop to see if he could get answers to these questions.  Here are some of the pictures we captured along with my own interpretation of what the chickens are thinking.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.    Which box do I use today?

Okay, I think I'll use this one.

Ahhh.  Finally some peace and quiet.

Waiting in line.  Would you hurry up!

Okay, got that over for another day or two.

So, we have one of our questions answered.  It is obvious from the time stamps on these pictures that they are laying their eggs in the mornings, usually between 6:30am and 10:00am.  However, it is still difficult to tell which chickens these are.  Could these all be the same chicken?

I don't know.  All I can say is the eggs are beautiful, taste wonderful and have a deep yellow, rich yolk.
