Broody mama has decided she's done being a mom and laid an egg 2 days in a row. Yesterday she led the chicks into the coop and then ran out to the field to free range without them.

Poor kids. So, we moved them to a brooder pen so they have less danger of getting hurt with the older ones.

Gotta get coffee & head out to scare off that darn hawk. Have a good day!
 
@Outpost JWBMine started doing that also, hiding eggs. I put golf balls back in their nest boxes and they stopped doing it.
I think it's instinctive you keep taking their eggs, how they going to survive? So they hide them. Mine laid in their boxes for months then hid them, as soon as I put the golfballs back they kept the eggs in the boxes.

Lol. Small dog crate for nesting. I've got that in another cage about the size of a large dog crate that I took the bottom off and a sheet of plywood on top. Then I had to put boards around it cause the little buggers kept getting out. Temporary, didn't know what to do with them, I need more coops :)
