Sneaky Egg Layers

They should be treasured!

The restrictions on keeping chickens inside have been eased, and immediately my chickens have taken the opportunity to misbehave. During their reluctant incarceration, my hens had no choice but to lay in the nest boxes provided. There really wasn’t anywhere else. Now, however....

Many of our hens are sneaky layers who will sidle off when they are let out each morning, and vanish insouciantly, whistling under their breath. ‘Nothing to see here, just off to find some worms....’
