How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

One
Our very first!!!

Always very cool huh

One of my eggs was so poopy today that I thought it was the ceramic egg that stays in the nest. I hit it on a log to try to scrape the crap off & low & behold "CRACK"...... real nasty egg!!! So subtract one egg off today's total....

Did it once myself

I have a similar (the same without the crawling) issue. I am going to put up a piece of fencing under the nests to keep them out. I put one wood tray in the corner, they laid next to it, now in it and next to it. Learning, learning, learning. I will make my chickens smart.

GREAT idea! I might try that, I’m really tired of crawling behind there and fishing out poopy eggs.

I have to walk under the roosts to get to 2 of the laying boxes..... major design flaw on the part of the designer (me).... I always say "please don't poop on me, I'm the one that feeds y'all"..... so far they haven't pooped on me. Tonight will be the night I get crapped on.

I just happened to have a ziploc bag in my pocket that I quickly tossed it into.... I didn't give it time to stink!

I have a grabbit in each coop can grab what cannot reach and have a horrible time bending

I should get one of those!
It's like an Easter egg hunt here everyday, but they are all in boxes of some sort. 20 total today.... I don't think that egg I cracked was from today, I think it was a few days old. My ceramic eggs have been disappearing somehow..... weird.

Mine may get buried or thrown out of the box goofy bird really surprised me do not do that anymore but
