Although I only got one egg today, I'm pretty sure it is Tandoori's and not Kung Pao's, because of the different nesting box and because today's egg is visibly smaller than the eggs Kung Pao has been laying. Here's visual proof. In the first shot, today's egg is the one on the far right. In the second shot, it's the one in the middle. It may not seem like a big difference in photos, but the new egg is noticeably lighter than the others.

The Lady of the Day
The lady of the day is Tandoori! She laid her first egg today, I'm nearly certain. She's been exhibiting the squatting behavior that Kung Pao showed before she started laying and today, I found an egg in a different nesting box than Kung Pao lays.

Yeah, it's normal on the east coast where the grasses die in the winter, but here, the grass is green all winter and drier in the summer (which is ass-backwards, I know) but it has an effect on the beta carotene content of the eggs.
