We have had issues with our chooks not laying of late. I have been leaving them locked in until about 2ish in the afternoon and have in the last few days been getting more eggs.

| not my pic but it looks much better :) |
We had a bantam (Indian Game Bantam) go missing last week. She was the one that hatched our first ducklings. I followed her closely last Thursday and found her outside the property sitting on 11 eggs. We have put the top part of a pet carrier over her and the aim is to put the bottom of the container under her so when the eggs hatch we can bring her back inside the chook house. Since the ducklings hatched, Ravi (brown leghorn rooster) has been hanging with her and Aj has wanted Ravi x Bantam chicks. So in about another two weeks we should have them
Back to the missing eggs...Aj found 11 eggs in the grass, three feet beyond our fence line, right near the road. All but two were in the 'standing up position' (see below). So still fresh. Not bad hey :) Cheeky girls. I wonder how many other nests are out along the roadside?
Busy week ahead for us here. I trust yours well be a good one :)
