Ruby Starts to Lay Again

Ruby was behaving strangely last night, lots of squawking and gurgling, and the same happened this morning. She spent a lot of time in the broody coop, poking around the corners and crouching on the ground – a little while later we found an egg in the middle of the coop! For Ruby’s overall health, it was good that she’d stop laying and was focussing on being a mother, and we knew she’d come back into lay at some point, as long as she still cares for the chicks, which she still enjoys doing!
