This time I'm the one that found where those rascally chickens have been hiding eggs! My son usually finds them, he's got a closer view of the ground. This time I spotted the secret nest. Of course they haven't laid an egg there since I found it Saturday, so we'll have to continue our search missions. The log for the daily gathering looks a little odd, since we have 12 hens and I gathered 18 eggs.
We always have a few hens that think they are some kind of Easter bunnies too!
ReplyDeleteSo that's what it's called, huh?
ReplyDeletepretty eggs! What a stash!
ReplyDeleteThat's a risk you take with free-ranging. We had the same issue last year when the chickens roamed freely-although they had a favorite spot to lay, I always found eggs in various hiding spots.
It was fun finding them! Usually my son finds them, so I did a happy dance when I saw them. Or maybe it was more like a taunting dance. Um yeah, I was excited!
ReplyDeleteSo, that is a "bonus" of free range? You get to hunt for secret stashes regularly? I wonder how long before they try the same spots over again.
ReplyDeleteSo far they haven't gone back to the same sites yet, but they have an acre plus to look for hiding places!
