esta Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 There is one particular bantam named Korma that keeps escaping. Anyway last night I put them away and she wasn't in so I went around with a torch and found her on the other side of the fence under the privets! I picked her up and she sqawked like crazy, so I snugged her up with Kev and she was fine I went back because I saw an egg and I found 4 more and as I rumaged down through the thick leaves she had buried herself in I came triumphantly into the house with 9 bantam eggs all from one chicken!!!!! i was soooooooooo pleased! esta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Wow, I've had things like that happen to me too, except not all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 lucky you, can i suggest something though? You may want to do the water test, put the egg in a jug, if it floats it's off, and if it sinks it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
