Our chickens are not laying eggs in their usual place. My husband says perhaps they are molting. No signs of that. I search around the entire yard looking for a possible new place they are using and watch carefully to see where they spend lots of time. No success. I buy eggs. I tell my husband they will start laying now that I have purchased eggs.
Today I can find only one chicken. I forgot to close the door on them last night so worried one escaped. I search everywhere. Suddenly I hear a very quiet cluck under the gardenia bush and the monkey grass. There is the other chicken almost completely hidden by vegetation.
Aha, let me delve deeper into that spot. Yup. One and a half dozen eggs! Omelettes for breakfast
When we first got our chickens they had stopped laying, or so we thought. We found nearly 30 eggs under the boat! They are devious, they will lay wherever they feel like it and not always in their laying boxes.
