Ho boy!

[Rusty Hills Farm]

I have a new flock of RIRs--a rooster and 9 pullets almost at the point of lay. Tonight as I was putting everyone up for the night, I took a quick peak into the nest box (even tho I haven't heard any egg songs yet.) I was expecting to see 3 pairs of plastic eggs marking the nests and instead found ... nothing. No sign of my corny bright pink and yellow and blue eggs. On closer inspection I found the girls had rolled them out of the nest box and hidden them around inside the coop, burying them under the shavings.

I think I'm insulted. LOLOL. Rejected! Humph. So I dug them out and put them back in the nests. Can't wait to see what happens next!

If they keep kicking them and the bedding out of the nest boxes, consider increasing the size of the lip.

My girls keep moving the golf balls from one nest to another.
