Plastic Easter Eggs

[Dr Hal Ott]

Has anyone encountered this ? I placed a few plastic Easter Eggs in the pullets nests to give them the idea of eggs. These plastic eggs can be opened to put in
money or cute notes etc for the children to discover. What is happening now...about 10 times...is the pullet opens the plastic egg and pushes her own egg inside
the plastic shell ! It's amazing. One egg was inside so tight that I thought that I would break the egg getting it out. Has anyone else encountered this ? Fun
stuff.

I filled mine with stones and glued my easter eggs shut. Not i wonder if they would have laid inside the egg. Thats too funny!!

Maybe put a camera in your coop and see if you can catch them in the act.

They real eggs get inside the opened plastic eggs from the birds scratching around in the nest.
Pure coincidence.
