Found the secret stash
Our take
 | Noticed my Olive Egger hadn’t been laying in the coop for the past week or so. Today I was hauling some stuff from the front yard to the back yard and one of my Lavender Orpingtons jumped out of this jungle that was behind some old window frames. I barely glanced and could see a pile of eggs. 7 olives and two from my lavenders in this spot. My Olive Egger has been having conjugal visits with the next door neighbor’s rooster the past couple of weeks and he’s taken a liking to her specifically. I checked these eggs with a bright flashlight and didn’t see anything resembling development, plus she hasn’t been able to sit on them overnight since she goes into the coop at dusk. We check for eggs every couple of days so I am certain this spot is new and these eggs went into the fridge. Cuddly lavender pic for a bonus [link] [comments] |

- Found my hen's secret stashOne of my hens, Love, told on herself this morning. Came out of the bushes crowing like a rooster 🤣 who knows how much longer she would've gotten away with it if she wouldn't have announced her morning lay lol submitted by /u/AmazingSuit1183 [link] [comments]
- my first weird egg!i’m not super worried about it because i’m pretty sure i know what’s going on. poor donna was broody for over two months and has been dropping eggs in unexpected places (like out in the run) the last three days like she just couldn’t hold them in. so i’ve sorta been expecting a fairy egg but didn’t expect it to be soft too! i’ve just switched everyone to all flock feed (new chicks) with oyster shells available, so her calcium intake has changed but she knows where to get more. maybe there’s something more i could be doing? the whole gang has just moved into a new coop but donna has laid eggs in the new nesting boxes a couple times so i think she likes it in there alright. we still have the old coop open too but no one seems interested. idk suggestions welcomed (re: the weird laying locations and shell quality) but she’ll hopefully work it out herself! submitted by /u/mensfrightsactivists [link] [comments]
- Two days of not collecting eggsthis is just one of my nesting boxes after 2 days of not collecting, they also have a spot beside the house that they like to go in and a couple of other random spots they will occasionally lay eggs in, so this isn't even all of them this is just this specific nesting box, although I feel like I need to get some sort of chicken that lays something besides brown and beige, maybe some white leghorns and some Easter Eggers LOL submitted by /u/Lunapixels18 [link] [comments]
