Crazy chooks! I did a search of the barn the other day, just to make sure there were no hidden spots!! Don’t want to end with a stash like that!

How’s about a stash like I just found under my porch?

Here is a handy hint for retrieving eggs from awkward locations, in case you need it!
Get a small can - an empty 3oz cat food tin is perfect. Nail it to the end of a long but relatively light piece of wood (I used those furring strips that they use in roofing and behind dry wall if the framing isn’t true).
It is like a giant spoon/scoop.
Works a treat. Don’t ask me how I know!

I'd been pondering. Alternatively dropping rocks in to break the eggs: disturbed nest = bad spot to nest... time to have a tuna sandwich this week to get the can. Then go hunting for an 8 foot pole...

The next to last one, with the polish & the roo - I think that is POW worthy! And your first Roo.....

That’s true. I already scolded her about it too. I pointed it out to her and told her she needs to lay inside the coop. She scoffed at me and walked away.

One of yesterday's eggs is broken. Maybe Indigo will decide it isn't such a good spot...especially since she knows I know she's there.

I don't know. That looks says 'Oh, nothin' to see here, mum, nope, nothing to see...just strolling along....doo, dee, doo.....

I still need a vote. Who is more puffy:
A or B

I think I have a pesky poltergeist in my coop. I’m gonna need Mr. P’s help with that! Some eggs are moved around, and feed dishes are thrown all over the place.

Or….. maybe just a raccoon- do you even have raccoons out there ?

Check out these tracks from this morning, on my way to the barn and saw these coon prints.

Need to get my run finished with electric fencing.

Or…… maybe it’s ‘hey, it wasn’t me honest mum, I didn’t put those there,.
