I got the prettiest speckled egg today. No idea who laid this pretty egg. Don't have time to stake out the nesting boxes.
Er--cages. True to form hens choose their own nesting sites. I made up some very nice nest boxes---which they totally ignored.
They prefered a couple of old rabbit cages which were not needed when we moved the rabbitry out of the hot and dusty barn and into the cool shade along side the shop.
Not one to irritate or argue with hens who know their business and lay beautiful eggs I reline the rabbit cages with grass hay from time to time and gather eggs.
