theherd123 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Today i found an egg on top of the eglu run That means that one of the girls, despite having a fantastic cube to lay eggs in, decided that the top of the eglu run was a better option! The egg was resting between two bars on the run, im surprised it didnt roll off after laying. Do your chickens lay in odd places? Please tell me its not just my mad chickens!

Snowy Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Sorry Em, boring old bushes and plant pots here. Think your chooks are celebrating their freedom in style. I can just imagine the shout: 'Look at me girls, I can lay ANYWHERE I like!!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Mine lay in the flower beds or the log pile! I once found a clutch of 13 eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 In the old house, when we still had a dog, our original pair of chickens used to sneak into the dogs kennel to lay. We never realised for weeks, and were surprised to find Buster sitting on a clutch of about 8 eggs one day when we went to get him in!

chocchick Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I take it Buster is the dog? I think it's you Emma Abbie looks very confused and pecks at eggs that are in the wrong place, like she doesn't know where they have come from They're usually very good. They waited until after we moved their eglu and all the fencing across to lay 2 eggs in the nest, after lifting the eglu lid on Megan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
