Sooo, we thought the chickens were being "naughty girls" and laying their eggs far and wide, but alas, we were mistaken. Here is a photographical essay to illustrate what really happened to the eggs!
"Where are all the eggs?" says Farmer Rose. "Those hens have been laying 7-9 eggs a day between the 9 of them, and now I find just one egg in the nest box. I think we have to have an Easter Egg Hunt!"
"I will pen up the chickens in their "tractor" (movable coop) so that they will have to lay their eggs in the nest boxes!"
"Hmmmm, the hens have been penned up from 5 o'clock yesterday until 5 o'clock today and there is only one egg in the tractor nest box! Have the hens been holding them in out of spite???"
"I guess I will check in here." (This is the door where we clean out under the roost).
"Fifteen eggs! Enough to account for yesterday and today! Hurray, mystery solved!"
Yay! The chickens just wanted you to have a real life Easter egg hunt! That's the spirit, chickens!!!
