It was a banner day for eggs; our first 7-egg day, all chicken hens laying (who knows when the guinea hens will start or if they’ll lay inside). Mahogany must’ve just started; yesterday we found a tan egg and I couldn’t figure out whose it could be; too solid-colored to be from one of the black chickens, too light for Providence. We figured it out today based on who was in the nest when; eggs showed up in 3 batches. In the AM, the small nest had Providence’s (medium brown), Black and Tan’s (extra large brown-pink), and Tenderfoot’s (olive). The larger nest had a single Squeak egg (white). Later I went in and Mahogany and Minty were fighting over the corner nest (sitting on top of each other, trying to push each other out) and I rescued a blue-ish egg, obviously Beardo’s and not theirs. Later there was a pink (Minty’s) and another tan one (must be Mahog’s, then).

Now that I’ve narrowed down whose is whose, I’ve made a wiki about it: the Ro(o)ster.
