A Chicken Story

This is a picture of the entrance to a cozy little chicken coop. A nice little abode for our feathered friends.

This is the bounty they share with us. All winter, they laid all their bounty in one corner in the coop in a nice, accessible little pile.

They still lay them in a nice little pile...

They just...aren't so accessible.

And each time we find a pile, they pick a new spot. "Never in the same spot twice" or, "how many spots can we hide our eggs?" must be their motto.

It's become an Easter egg hunt. Every day. And they cheat. They use the woods.

The little stinkers.

I love it! An Easter egg hunt every day! (Your kids are going to get good at finding them...)

Someone told me that if you leave one egg in the nest they will keep laying there. Someone else told me that a golf ball would do the trick too (I was kind of skeptical of that idea).

PS. but then the kids wouldn't be able to hunt for the eggs.
