My chickens are just terrible with laying in weird places! I once got a group of four random chickens and the Welsummer just "wasn't" laying. Well, we found so many nests in the woods and along the driveway that she was using just packed with eggs! Stinker. Now she uses the nest box, but my bantam cochin refuses! Laid under the deck and hid her eggs until we had a surprise clutch hatch out in the middle of winter. Now she lays under the other side of deck near the straw and hay I store so I at least know where to look
