Does it make me weird that watching my hen lay an egg (literally, she had her butt facing the open coop door) is the coolest thing I've seen since witnessing the birth of my niece? Seriously, I can't remember seeing anything so awe-inspiring and amazing since then. Nature is absolutely marvelous.

I've only ever seen it once w/ a silkie hen. Por thing would wail every time she laid.
It is cool
As an animal keeper, I never get tired to seeing stuff like this |

I really dont think it hurts them. it doesnt look like it does anyway/ but it sure is fun to watch them come out/ seen a turtle laying once along the road.facinating! I love watching them hatch too, I just stay glued to the incubator window from first pip to first step |

I have watched my hen- just happened to be there at the right time- and was amazed. This summer my ds (11) brought me a real warm egg and was absolutely amazed when he told me he watched her spit it out!! It was so cool that he is awed by that!

I have never actually seen it happen, that would be cool to see. I just go out there and pick up the eggs.

I still think it's a miracle myself. I have caught a few laying and they just stand there for so long afterwards. Like they're in a daze. I wonder if they get a little paralyzed from the awful pain it must cause. It's gotta hurt like heck. I can't even imagine what it must feel like. And to do that every day, too. I hope it's like childbirth and they forget what it feels like right after.

I should add that we've had a lot of tragedy getting to this egg. We lost our first three birds (buff orps) to a mystery illness and our fourth bird to an impacted crop (which I tried to rectify myself over a holiday weekend - long, ugly story). Our last two girls are doing fine and now finally an egg. It's been a hard road to get to the perfect over easy egg I just ate. :-)

I think that would be so neat to see! I don't think that makes you weird at all! Nature is marvelous and it's wonderful when we take moments to simply be and enjoy the wonder that is our world!

You are too sweet, to be so innocent as to be awed by something so natural and simple as an egg, please never change.
