Story:

I found something out today!
I always thought that my chickens had a favorite nesting box no matter what, but I guess i was wrong. My chickens just liked to lay where ever the fake egg was. Yesterday, I moved the fake egg to a different nesting box... all the eggs found today were in that nesting box. (The fake egg was in another nesting box for a long time. Then I moved it and this happened.)

Mine liked to move the fake egg into the box they loved to lay in lol.

Thank you for sharing your ducks and chickens everyone! I have a feeling this is going to be a great chat thread!

They are so cute! What breeds? Also, have you named them?

No names officially as of yet. Although I believe the kids have their favorites and have names for them.
