Got another egg yesterday and three so far today. One of today's was broken because the shell was very membrane-y. I couldn't reach it so I covered it with lots of hay -- don't want the girls getting a taste for fresh eggs! The other two today have thin shells but ok. Thin shells are pretty standard for new layers, apparently. Our Costa Rica girls laid thick-shelled eggs from the start! Not that I'm comparing my pansy U.S. chickens to my hearty Costa Rica girls...
