Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I was pretty sure my CLs were not laying anymore. In fact, I was a bit worried about them. So, yesterday, I cleaned out their A-Frame house and saw one of them underneath (There's maybe a 3" crawl space under there) and in my morose state of mind said, " Great. Dead chicken. " So I reached under and the dead chicken grabbed a piece of my hand flesh. Not dead. And then I found the stash. 16 eggs. Cool.
The same thing happened to me about 3 weeks ago. Their egg laying was just fine, but then my silkie went broody and my egg production vanished!! I was so disappointed. I got one egg about every 4 days. Then I was outside and I heard one of my ladies singing her song. I ran across the yard to find her and she was about 5 feet in the air on top of a huge wood pile letting the whole world know about it :lol: I got down and started looking around. A hidden nest is what I found. It was super hard to collect them all. They were deep in the wood pile, but there was 17-22 eggs :gig :gig I can't remember eggs-actly how many, but it was between that somewhere. I was so mad, but I thought it was hilarious at the same time :lol: So now when I can't find the eggs, I know where to look. They kept escaping from their run. I finally have all the holes blocked! A good 4-5 days they have stayed in the run!! Yay!! But they have stopped laying now -_-
