Babies Having Babies

Can a girl have some privacy, please?

I was able to confirm that gray naked neck was indeed laying eggs.  I caught her in the nesting boxes over the weekend on both Saturday and Sunday.  To date, I think she's laid every day since last Sunday.  But I could be wrong.

Why could I be wrong?  Well, today when I got home from work, I found two eggs in the nesting box.  So another chicken is also laying.  My guess is it is the other naked neck.  But I'm not sure - just a guess.  Educated guess, though, since they are both two weeks older than the other girls. 

I do need to figure out the nesting box situation, though.  So far, they only seem to like having the pine shavings in the box.  I tried straw and hay, and both were no-go's.  They just kicked the stuff out - and with the hay, they ate it all (i'm guessing they had help from the rest.)

The reason I have to figure it out is one of the eggs was cracked again.  I'm guessing that the second chicken to lay today dropped the egg onto the wood floor of the next box.  Again, just a specualtion, but it was cracked on the narrow end.  I'm guessing that the narrow end comes out first when the chicken pushes it out the vent. 

I don't think I'll be able to confirm this until I get the remote camera installed to watch them during the day.  Yes...I do plan on doing that sometime soon.
