The Great Eggstraction

Sometimes when I get home late I forget to take the ONE egg out of the nest box (I say one egg because, as you all know, Butterscotch has not laid an egg in months).  Anyway, tonight I forgot again.

So what we do when I forget is: go out, shine a light in the coop, and then get the egg from underneath Oreo.  Yes, she likes to sit on her own egg.  The chickens normally are terrified to be touched, but as it gets darker in the evening, they get stupid-er, and so it gets easier to touch them.

So here's a picture of us going in the nesting box, to get the egg.
