egg hunt:

[Sir Sam]

ok so one of the chickens, the first one to start laying, had decided to no longer lay in the nesting box, and found some random place in the yard to hide eggs.

 

Well I had been pulling my hair out trying to find it, turns out it was in a fairly simply place, behind a radiator in the corner of the yard she found a secluded spot.

 

Managed to catch her yesterday just after she was done laying and made her egg song(gave me an audible indication of her location and was able to find her and the eggs from there).

 

Found a dozen eggs including the one she just laid. Separated the one she just laid from the rest, most are probably still good, but the rest are questionable since they have been outside for up to 2 weeks.

 

 

So then I come home today after a rather frustrating morning and discover that Zeus grabbed a few eggs from kitchen, found one on his dog bed and another on the couch.

 

They say golden retrievers have gentle mouths, its true, washed off the slobbery eggs and put them back in the bowl.

No.

 

Though Arucanas do lay blue-green eggs.

One of the guys I work with found a strange egg in his yard (in the mulch),

and he was thinking it could be a turtle egg for some reason.

 

That's when one of the other guys suggested (seriously) that maybe it was a Raccoon Egg.

 

:doh: :rotf: :rotfl2:

 

Just thought that was worth adding to the conversation. :waving:

 

Carry on.

Here's a money maker.. I was in tractor supply the other day and they had "free range chicken poop" lip balm. The caption said: " Grampa say's if you got dry lips, put some chicken poop on them. That'll keep you from licking them".

I have 12 chickens in the back yard also and its funny where they will decide to lay. I had 2 of em decide they wanted to nest ontop of the pine shaving bail in the corner. The plastic didnt even bother them
