Do your hens relocate their eggs?

[RoyalChick]

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!

I have seen the 'armpit' or underwing method twice, but didn't have the camera on me either time. Love your videos!

I love that video! I've seen the under the wing move, but that's the first time I've seen one use their neck.

I love Piglet’s reaction when the egg fell and cracked! This has got to be the chicken version of cussing!
