I had chickens out today... one of my segregated for breeding pens... but luckily they just got mixed up with the ducks... 
so no panic once I realized the wrong sperm hadn't just jumped into my hens.
Just how overdue can a goat be? Before ya worry?

Ahhh ---- on second cup. NICE. Lot of work to do and this will get me going. Birds hatching, goats milking, fences to move. Yep, lot of work to do. At least I get to ride the tractor again today. Love my little tractor! 
Hen & new chicks doing well, more hatching @#2 & time to check on broody#3 again.
It's sunny & will be high 60s. Good work day. Hope you all have the same.

On my second cup also. Fried up some eggs and made toast. I have an egg surplus so there’s plenty for all! Lol

Oh, my.....I'm there, too. We are all pretty "egged out" this time of year.
AND -- I see you are doing like me, using those scoops to carry. Then, no scoops in barn for needed use!!!!! I'm boiling an feeding back, sharing with neighbors, making high egg dishes.
It's almost like "zucchini days"....
Take them! Take them!
So, what kind are those streaky, spotty, dark eggs from?
(Top R in blue scoop & top L in grn bkt...+) Some seriously speckled eggs. customers love my blue & green ones, too.

@Alaskan is correct! I have a group of very dumb hens that eat eggs that are laid where they are supposed to be or lay them in the mud. It’s like a daily Easter egg hunt for those. Ugh! (This group of 8 is on the cull list as soon as I get the time.)
We have one hen laying green eggs and now one laying blue as of today. My kids currently think those are better so we haven’t sold any. We have several that could lay colored that should start laying any day and 12 straight run barnyard mix that are highly likely to lay colored.
Edited to add the pic that I forgot...
