What is the the weirdest place your chicken (chickens) have layed an egg? 😂

1. The tunnel above the swing set on our play set.
2. The oven of the play kitchen when we moved it outside.
 
Hard to say. Growing up on the farm here were many. I'll choose two.

1. In a hayloft the way the hay bales were stacked there was a tunnel maybe a foot wide and a foot high that went back 8 to 10 feet. A hen started laying at the end of that tunnel.

2. Same hayloft but above the corn crib. There was a wall about 10 feet high with hay stacked on top of it. A hen found enough of a hole 10 feet above the ground and about 15 feet away from the end of that stack of hay to make a nest. The only way she could get to it was to fly. The outside wall of that corn crib was slats. I had to climb those slats to collect the eggs.

That nest is one reason I laugh when I read on here that chickens can't fly very well.

Lol, she really didn't want you to find those eggs. And ya... my chickens have roosted in trees when the coop door blew shut. It's safe to say they can fly quite well. 🤣
