Of Chickens and Eggs

Chickens are strange creatures.  This lot that we have certainly are.  The last lot of bantam Australorps were a lot more reliable - both in laying and choice of laying spots.  Since this lot's last bout of broodiness, they've opted to lay in anywhere but the nesting box.

Nutmeg still persisting in hatching pebbles.  I spy with my little eye something beginning with B...

Yup, Butterball decided to lay amongst the pebbles too...

Can you spot the chicken?

There she is in the bag of sawdust...

And there's the egg she's laid afterwards...
