Burying Eggs

[City Cajun]

I have nine hens with one of them being an Americauna laying green eggs. She's an inconsistant layer but, the strange thing I find her doing is burying her eggs in a corner of the pen. Is this strange or do some breeds do this. When I go to pick up eggs in the evening and don't see a green egg in th laying box I take a small rake and rake over that corner to sometimes find an egg and sometimes not. On occaision she will even just lay on the bare ground.

Sounds really strange. I have no idea what to tell you! lol, maybe she has some dinosaur in her afterall!

Ours have buried the golf balls used to entice them into the nest. I think they just don't want to sit on frozen balls. ( It's cold here.)

My EE often buries her eggs. I had no idea she had started laying until there were 12 of them in the coop.
