I got my chickens a week before Easter and I just got my first egg ... I think, anyway. I heard tons of commotion coming from the backyard. It sounded like one of my chickens was distressed. Because I couldn't see a chicken from the direction of the noise, I thought that she had hopped over the fence and was stuck in my neighbors yard. However, upon further investigation, she had made a little nest behind a small square of plywood and laid her egg there. I will post a picture later, but it was perfectly little and has a very hard shell.
I am going to make sure there are no places around the yard for them to make nests and lay their eggs. I hope they will learn to use the nesting boxes!
It was cool that I got to see the chicken who laid it, it was the BO I thought might be a rooster! lol.
I just wanted to share and figured it might help anyone who is still waiting for eggs from their Easter chicks.
ETA: picture and what do I do with the eggs? How do I keep them?
