A Weird Egg

May 01, 2013 18:31

Okay, we just had an unsolved mystery. Bobby cut the grass this afternoon and, while he was replacing the push mower in the shed, pulled back the tarp he uses to cover it and found ten chicken eggs underneath. Although the coop is part of the shed, there is no way out of the coop and into the part of the shed where the mower is kept (aside from the door, which is always closed and latched). We have several different breeds of chicken, and it was obvious that several hens had been using that space.

I went into the coop and moved stuff around outside of the coop but could find no place where the chickens could even squeeze through to get from one half of the shed to the other. (Nor have we ever found a chicken loose in the shed or yard.)

I knew hens hid their eggs but dang. This is a bit much!
