Chickens and their eggs

My grand daughter had a surprise today, when she went to her play house she had this waiting for her....
You would think (or at least I would) that if the chickens had a nice clean hen house with 8 nests, fresh clean hay added weekly they would lay where they should! I have 5 hens that will lay in the hen house, all the others I have to play hide and seek with every day. The barn is hard enough to find eggs in with all its nooks and crannies but I have even found them in the in the lilac bush! The funny thing is though while I am looking around, they follow me talking to themselves...I sometimes wonder if they know what they are doing....

    I know that can happen sometimes, but it sort of makes me wonder if it's worth the effort to get chickens an let them range.

      They say the eggs have omaga 3 if you let them free range but never know. I am going to use hoosier girls idea, sure it will work.

    What a cute surprise! We free range and once or twice a year we have to "lock down" the coop for about a week so the girls will remember they are supposed to lay in there. Usually that is all it takes.
