Found 73 eggs!!

There is that egg holder thingy that you can crack the egg into it and make hardboiled eggs without the effort of peeling. I saw it on an infomercial

There is also that asian thing where they put a bunch of eggs in a tube and cook them together as a big "hard boiled" egg...

Wow. Just wow. Chickens, chickens, chickens.

My chickens did the same to us but we found out in a few days and it was still cold out.
that must of been a wonderful surprise!

If they are dry and that area never gets wet then I’d probably float them too Crack 10% at random to check for spoilage and throw the rest in the fridge. I would never give them to friends or sell them, but if they’d been dry and sink and the 10% were good then I’d eat them. That’s a lot of eggs after all. And I’ve left unwashed eggs on my counter for that long without issue.

I am kinda still in shock... Probably will just give them to the cats and chickens, as both really like eggs...

But here’s the thing I was wondering about... how long have my chickens been laying here!? Only three chickens were involved in this!

Close to a month 23 days worth of eggs. Wow, I bet you are stunned.

I'm now going egg hunting today. We've assumed one of our hens aren't laying but she very well may created her own nest somewhere. Easter fun all over again...

Free range birds sometimes need to be 'trained'(or re-trained) to lay in the coop nests, especially new layers. Leaving them locked in the coop for a week or so can help 'home' them to lay in the coop nests. Fake eggs/golf balls in the nests can help 'show' them were to lay. They can be confined to coop and maybe run 24/7 for a few days to a week, provided you have adequate space and ventilation, or confine them at least until mid to late afternoon. You help them create a new habit and they will usually stick with it. ..at least for a good while, then repeat as necessary.

aart, I did the golf ball thing with my hens and it worked. But now the hens are asking that I build a putting green, and drinks, after the 18th hole play.

Fun! We found 18 under a spiky plant recently when doing some spring cleaning. We didn't even test for freshness. We broke out the dye, and they became our kids' Easter eggs.

I currently have three wild hens who lay eggs wherever. It's always a game to figure out where they are laying their eggs. Today, I found three eggs from one hen.

But I don't know where the other two are laying their eggs, or even where they are sleeping and spending time these days. One of them showed up very briefly today. I asked her where her eggs were, but she just squawked and ran away. She clearly has no respect for her food provider whatsoever!

We once found 34 eggs, I think. All were good to eat. We had I think 3 chooks laying in that secret nest.
