Bouncy Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Would you believe it??? - Just went to collect this mornings offerings 3 eggs from 4 Girls, for some strange reason I put one of the eggs in my pocket, then forgot about it until i bent down heared a strange noise and felt my trouser leg become very wet Yep you've got it I crushed the egg to bits I emptied my pocket of its contents and the girls immediately came alon and ate some of it before I could clean it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucknette Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thats exactly what I do. I go down to the cube have seven girls and if they have all laid I put some in my pockets. Touch wood I havent squashed any yet! but give it time and I most certainly will. I never know why I dont take something with me to put them in. And why when we collect eggs do we need to bend down straight after?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surferdog Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think it's a fairly common side effect of keeping chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I have nearly done this sooooo many times. My luck has held - so far! Poor you. It's nearly as bad as picking one of them up and feeling warm poop run down your leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 We've all done similar I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treekeeper Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 My most embarassing one was when I put one in my suit inside pocket? Drove 120 miles to a meeting with seatbelt on over jacket. All sat down and removed jackets I went to retrieve notebook and found one large perfectly formed egg instead Well at least it broke the ice when I explained I'd been out at 5.30 letting chooks out and gathering eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
