The Mysterious Egg

I went out to the chicken coop the other afternoon to collect Harriet's egg (Lola had laid hers in the morning) and when I opened the nest box lid I found TWO eggs in there. One was obviously Harriet's and the other looked a lot like Lola's eggs. Now I am pretty sure that chickens don't lay more than one egg in 24 hours, so who's was it? By the process of elimination, I had concluded that Cutie had laid her first egg. Henny's eggs will be either green or blue. This morning I found Cutie in the nest box doing her thing. So, it has been confirmed. Henny is the only chicken remaining to start laying eggs. We are really looking forward to getting 4 eggs a day.
