Three out of four...

It's been two weeks since Cayenne and Poppy started laying, and today was Nutmeg's grand debut!  She began sitting in the nesting boxes off and on about mid morning.  She would go in and sit a while, go out and free range, go in and sit, go out....you get the picture. Then, a little after 2:00 p.m., Neal called to me and I rushed outside like a kid to check the nesting boxes.  There lay a small, magnificent masterpiece that Nutmeg had been working on for hours.

Her egg was darker in color than the other two, and when I put them together I noticed they were all a tad bit different in color.  That will make identifying eggs much easier!  From left to right we have the bounties of...Nutmeg, Cayenne and Poppy.  Hopefully, Ginger will catch on soon!
