It was shocking to find how many eggs were laid behind that thing!! We weren't sure how old some of them were, so we didn't end up using any of those. Funny how hens will find secretive places to lay. -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-81848242511624630712016-05-18T13:13:25.078-04:002016-05-18T13:13:25.078-04:00If I'm not sure I give the eggs to my dog.

My dad always wondered why i never got as many eggs as anyone else....but i didn't tell him until we moved off of the farm why that was an issue! ;)<br />ranck5https://www.blogger.com/profile/02519966383405468412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-78056217225549505312016-05-17T11:47:40.345-04:002016-05-17T11:47:40.345-04:00They are sneaky like that aren't they?

They do turn into crazy cannibals when they see a broken egg. <br />My chickens have had so much attention with my grand daughters here for a week.<br />I am sure your hens will love those weeds too.
