I am curious if others have seen their hens relocating their eggs, and if so, how they go about it.
I have three examples I have observed.
1. Bernadette (RIP) who is not looking very successful in this video but actually was an accomplished egg mover. Always the same method - tucked under her ‘chin’.
2. Tassels (no video) who hid eggs under her wings - tucked into her ‘armpit’ - and managed to bring one with her into broody jail.
3. Piglet who tried this method today. A bit of a disaster, but certainly an innovative approach! Not her egg by the way.
Would love to hear other people’s experiences and see pictures and videos of their enterprising hens!
