Dizzy-Deb Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 This morning, I let mine out of their WIR... to go free range while I sorted out fresh water, topping up of food, poo picking etc as you do. My girls always get their layer mash (still ) in the morning, plus some greens, corn, treats etc... cause its still darkish when i get home so too late for it then. I happened to look up just to check on them and noticed Mad Matilda stooping, and thought...oh oh whats up.... when all of a sudden an egg popped out... Silly girl, I think she thought she was going to miss out on too much to go back into . Suppose when you got to go you got to go. !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Under the hedge, behind a wall, next to the barn, in a tarpaulin, between a planter and a fence, between two wood piles ..... all the same chicken!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 It wasn't a funny place but this morning Lisa was doing a lot of shouting as she wanted the nest box to herself so after an hour of this I thought I'll open the holiday home up to see if it would fix the trouble. Lo and behold her majesty vanished for half an hour to christen the new nest box. I think Paxo was allowed a royal visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Last week, one of mine, I'm not sure which, laid one on the water feature - a bubble fountain that is switched off at the moment. It has a funny sort of rock in the middle with a kind of scooped out dent at the top. That is where she put her egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucklamp Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Poppet , our gingernut ranger, has recently taken to laying on top of the washing machine in the utility room. Of course we attempt to foil her efforts to lay there but it seems that she can be extremely quick if she needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillM Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Just as long as it's not on the spin cycle, or your eggs will be scrambled before you crack them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceychristie Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Heard a rustling in the kitchen, and found our Rosie had sneaked in, and laid in a plastic bag we keep the recycling in!!! Bella, not to be outdone, decided to show her aerobatic skills, and flew onto the draining board! Girls!! Stacey X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanTheDiver Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Carrot often just lays where she is, especially if it is treat time as she doesn't want to miss out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
