Yesterday we got an egg with a perfect hard shell finally. I checked in the morning before I left and there was nothing, but M checked later before he left and found one in the egg hole. So I think we are successfully getting eggs and they are actually laying in the boxes and the eggs are actually rolling back into the compartment now that they are hard enough. Wow.

Then today, I checked this morning and nothing, but just now another perfect hard egg. So I guess our gals are daytime layers for now. But at least we aren't getting anymore soft shell eggs. Who knows, we may get more when all the hens start laying, as I'm not sure they are all at the same maturity level since we have three different breeds. But since we are on the correct feed now, maybe the later layers will have an easier time of it.
