The last two days I have gone to collect the eggs and at first am shocked because I see NO eggs. But then I notice all the hay and shavings are heaped up in the middle. So then, I dig around and find the eggs hidden under the hay. The pullets have been laying for about a month now and this has never happened before (I had chickens last year as well and this never happened with that bunch either.) Who and why would they be doing this??? This is not just in one nesting box, it is in all the boxes that happen to contain eggs (I have 8 boxes and 25 pullets). Yesterday there were 12 hidden eggs, today I collected 8, with probably a few more coming this afternoon. Oh, and today I also found a large flat rock about the weight of an egg in one of the nesting boxes as well.
