Blondie laid an egg standing up!

DAY FOUR - EGG COUNT 2 (including one laid in front of us!)
As if she knew it was her turn to star today, Blondie actually laid an egg in front of us while standing up and feeding. My husband was amazed and caught the egg just as it hit the ground (it only has a small dent so will go into a victoria sponge later today.)
That's a first for us, we have never seen that happen before, maybe these chickens are now so relaxed, they don't need to hide away to lay eggs.
Come to think of it, they were probably very excited about the scraps we took up this morning because we had spaghetti for dinner last night and there was some left over The girls absolutely love spaghetti and we think it's because they think it's worms (worms are the caviar of the hen world.)
In fact, when going amongst hens, one has to be careful of anything resembling worms such as shoelaces, strings and toggles on coats etc as they will go a bit mad and have a peck
They also get excited about leftover rice which they possibly think is grubs (another favourite chicken food.) Bless 'em, they are a constant source of amusement!
