Sure enough...got home from work today, went out and checked, and there were two eggs in the little nest that #2 and #3 have apparently decided to share. There was one egg of each color, so we're pretty sure they're both laying, but again, we haven't actually seen #3 doing the work. I've now added one egg every morning to my breakfast (thank god my cholesterol is fine). One of the great things about having the chickens is having them cruise around the backyard sometimes. One of the surprising things that happens, though, is this:
You go to walk out your back door and they're right there acting like they want to come in and watch TV or something. This also creates a little bit of a waste problem right outside your door--easy to get rid of, but I'd rather they kept all that in the yard.
I am extremely fascinated with this information. I believe that perhaps the riot they had was actually a battle with a goat snake, and now they are partially posessed by some type of demon. This would explain the zombie-like staring at you through the window. They may be longing for brains to peck at. Beware their eggs - it may be a trap that they are using to draw your brain closer...closer to their posessed little demon beaks. Some would say that chicken brains are little more than a simple spinal cord attached to a tiny cerebellum. This would support the theory that chickens are more susceptible to demon possesion, as they lack the executive functions of the brain that typically developing animals have, thus eliminating the ability to avoid said demonic posession. Either way, they are really cute, and I hope you don't eat them.

Hmmmm...I don't think it's all that complicated, Andy. Hey, guess what?! School was closed today here due to inclement weather. Yeah!
