Nacktschnecken omlet Cube

[Calamity Jane]

I was cleaning out my eglu earlier today and when I pulled out the poop tray there were two eggs in it. Now, I only have one of my ladies laying at the moment and she does sometimes miss a day, but my quandry is this....

How did the eggs get there in the first place,

All the roosting bars were in place

Both eggs were a good size and could not have fallen through.............. hmmm

She has only ever laid her egg in the nest box before, could one of the others have kicked it out ? its a mystery

[jill the potter]

mystified!!

I perhaps should also mention I have one of the old mark1 eglus with the removable wooden roosting bars. I can only think one of them moved/removed/kicked? a bar out of place, nudged egg between bars and then replaced bar.... and repeated this action again a day later ????

Mrs. Tweedy: They're *chickens*, you dolt. Apart from you, they're the most stupid creatures on this planet. They don't plot, they don't scheme, and they are *not* organized.

 

 

I think we all know this is not true....

UPDATE

A second one of my ladies has come into lay and has been laying on roosting bars, still dont know how they came to be UNDER bars though.

I've had a few softies laid and end up in the poo trays of the cube, but a month ago I cleaned out the poo trays and there was a large egg in amongst the poo, perfectly intact, hard shelled.

 

There was no big enough gap in the grey plastic roosting bars for it to get through. It was and is still a mystery!

Perhaps thats it... just a mystery... forever.
