Mystery solved – it’s Emma!
The egg laying mystery is solved: it is our little Emma who has been busy! While I was cleaning the coop she came in, started hopping in & out of the nesting boxes and seemed anxious. She followed me out the coop’s front door, into the smaller yard and found her xylophone and started playing a tune (normally she plays only one note at a time for a treat). She still seemed out of sorts, so I placed her back in the nesting box and bingo a little while later she laid an egg!
Here is Emma playing her tune in a pre-egg-laying concert. (More to come on Emma’s Rockin tunes…)
Emma’s Egg laid July 9th displayed on a quilt made my dear friend Nance, whos birthday is July 9th!!

HI Vita
Maddie has a xylophone just like Emma’s! It stays at my house in case Emma comes to visit Marietta. You know we are the home of the Big Chicken. I am going to send this page to Maddie.

Maybe she would lay bigger eggs with Mozart. Also, your per egg outlay is now a mere $2500, so maybe you could install the sound system with the $2500 you just saved.

AND I’m pretty sure that if you name the eggs you won’t want to eat them.
