In the warmer weather the hens like to hide their eggs. We will always let the girls free range and that means egg hunts. One of the horse kids recently found a nest of over 20 eggs. The weather was cool at night and they were shaded under an overturned wheelbarrow during the day...perfectly preserved.
Typically when we find a nest and collect the eggs the hens don't leave their eggs any longer. We left 2 behind in hopes that they would keep using this spot. At least one of them does, we find an egg there everyday. Interestingly all the Americana's used this spot, all blue eggs!
