Alis girls Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 My girls are a fairly quiet bunch except when plagued by police helicopters. This am they were free rangeing when I hard such a racket - i shot out of kitchen convicned a fox was in the garden or the resident magpie was dive bombing my girls to find Bathsheba in the big pampas grass (henquarters) I assumed she was stuck but she continued to shout and bob up and down and when I looked I found 3 eggs! 1 was warm the others cold. I know they can lay round the garden but never thought they would - I have had a few 1 egg days this week. They are fresh I did bowl test. Little madam - I suspect they are hers. She was obvously cross mum hadnt found them and was telling me. I now wonder if there are more somewhere else. I will be more vigilant on 1 egg days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Jemima made a nest behind the pond, but no eggs there yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 That has given me something to think about. I'm assuming that Chicken bark hasn't started laying yet (despite being 30+ weeks) so maybe she has and there is a secret stash somewhere. A bank holiday egg hunt is on the cards this afternoon.

Rhoderunner Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I had three 'one egg' days in a row, so did a bit of egg-vestigating. And found six eggs up on the wall hidden in the ivy!!! That was a month ago. And now my chickens lay half their eggs on the wall and half in the nesting box. I love the egg-hunting and it's fun having two places to look now!
