Balancing Act

When I peaked into the nesting boxes on Sunday to collect eggs, I was surprised to see Bruiser's regular spot (top left) empty.  Curious, I looked in the nesting box underneath and found nothing in there.  Then lo and behold, beyond that nesting box, balancing between the wall of the coop and a small bench was her cute little brown egg.
That's the view through the lower left nesting box.  
 Up close.
This is a view from the big coop door.  So here's the deal: Bruiser likes to lay her eggs in the top left nesting box...right near THE EDGE.  This time luck was not on her side (our side?) and the egg fell over the edge and landed where you see it.  Sadly, it cracked.  Off to the compost it went.
