stoice Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Odd. Maybe some one was late laying on friday, making four eggs sat... plus someone was earlier than normal for a sunday morning lay, making it 5 on a saturday. Did you check them out later than normal on sat? How many were on sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Perhaps the cheeky little minx's were playing with you and hid an egg on thursday and friday, then tired of the game on saturday and brought them out of hiding for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I had a similar riddle a few weeks back, I think they do it so they can giggle at us behind our backs... cheeky Minx's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Think Sunday was the usual 3 - cant remember! But to add to the mix last night there were FOUR!!!!! They are getting their fluffy knickers in a twist arent they! I wonder if its anything to do with the fact they are dirty stop outs and dont go to sleep for long periods of time? I always go out to check them and shut the run door if they have been free ranging - and to attempt to shut the eglu door - however they never have the eglu door shut as they all come out every time I open the back door. So wonder if they are getting body clocks mixed up and getting two mornings in one day! Will see what eggs i get today when i get in from work. Funny girls! michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
