Cheaper by the dozen

We’ve been a little surprised at the infrequency of egg laying by our chickens. However, my mother-in-law Debbie discovered that Layla has been using a spot behind the grill for her own nesting box. In fact, Layla had laid 8 eggs in the same place away from the coop. The sudden supply of eggs means we’ve now had over 20 eggs laid, bringing the average to closer 1 a day. I was so pleased I dropped them all in to our surrogate egg crate.
