Where is the strangest place your free range chicken has laid an egg?

Hello All,

Where is the weirdest place your free range chickens have ever laid an egg?

Mine laid 3 eggs in this wagon, it’s filled with straw I take down to the coop to put in the nesting boxes. (The mess is all theirs).

I mean, the straw is in the wagon, it invites them

I’ve had them lay between the goat shelter and fence, inside my lavender garden bed, behind the AC.

My ducks occasionally lay eggs *inside* the goats’ shelter. Pretty funny to find one in there

For the longest time I knew one of my hens was laying somewhere but I just couldn’t find where, one day I let them out and she went running over to our neighbors, so I followed her there and this is what I found

These are great!

The straw belongs to the nesting boxes, they 100% know that. It’s extra funny because the dog and kids are usually on the porch where the wagon is. It’s the chickens contribution to chaos. Sounds like my chickens might not be alone though.

Probably in the dust baths.

Your post reminded me of this picture. I imagine the goats and ducks are friends.

In one of the tortoise burrows. She had FIFTEEN of them down there.

I had a buff orpington lay under a canoe. She was in a pen, but would free herself every day to lay under the canoe, she thought the eggs were her babies, and we had no roosters.

@gimmie birdies I bet it gave you a heart attack the first time it happened, especially if you didn’t see her at first.
@azurbanclucker it’s probably good she didn’t go broody while she was down there, can you imagine little chicks just popping out of the tortoise burrows?
