The heart-to-heart talk I had with the ladies last Saturday seems to have had some effect. Perhaps it was the reference to the "soup pot" that got their attention; who knows. One of the hens (known to my daughter as "Nugget") has been giving us a daily egg like clock work since last Sunday. This seems to occur in the late afternoon and the funny thing is that she goes for the exact same nesting box every time (depositing behind door #3). Now if the other three ladies will just start putting out, we may eventually get the two dozen we need per week to make this whole experiment break even.
