Hen learned a new trick

[roosterjerry]

For the past few days I will look out and see one of the hens out of the chicken yard walking around the front yard. I will open the coop and she will go back in. My girlfriend said she saw the hen scratching around a bag in the barn. I just saw her do it so now I know the trick. She hops over the fence and goes in the barn. She has scratched open a 50 pound bag of oyster shell and made a nest. When I go look in there there is an egg in there

thats so cute. My hens figured out if they lay their eggs up high and they drop on the ground they can eat them

Awww, she just wanted to brood away from the mob! -Needed some room to 'spread her wings'
