Silly Barred Rocks....
One of my pens is Barred Rocks, we have 7 hens with 1 rooster. We have been getting eggs from them regularly, but not quite as many as I hope. Anyways, today I was in the barn and noticed one of the hens up at the very top of the pen nestled between the rafters. While looking at hen I noticed an egg beside her, 9ft up between the rafters!! I got a ladder and checked up there and found FOUR eggs. Not sure if it is one hen laying up there or a couple. They are almost impossible to see from the ground because of the angle. Not sure why this hen decided to lay way up there when she has a cozy nesting box with straw and shavings and a ladder for easy access... silly chickens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
