Our free ranging chickens on the homestead are starting to lay eggs everywhere! Our chickens have now laid outside the nesting box for the third time! This time it took awhile to find these eggs because we found 21 eggs this chicken was hiding!

We were wondering why our chickens weren't laying as many as they should... some were molting, but it didn't make sense. My husband happened to see as he was walking through the basement door that our chickens had laid about 18 eggs in a very small pile of leaves. 🤦‍♀️ anytime production goes down, we go looking 🤣

So close to our number Brittany! I swear I feel the same way, as soon as production seems a little lower we as a family go checking ALL around the yard to see where these ladies are hiding them on us. Thanks for watching Brittany we appreciate it.

Found 28 yesterday one spot where I guess all the girls were going. I have a nice house like yours. We have 21 hens and they just starting but I get like 3-4 a day. Some days only one. I free range but that may have to come to an end if they don’t start laying where they are supposed to.

Wow! 28 is a lot of eggs to find

get your chicks familiar with your coop, and when they are mature, leave them cooped up until 1 pm, until they are done laying. 90% of your eggs will be laid before noon.🤣

I thought my chooks stopped laying due to winter and i checked everywhere before i gave up. Then 39 eggs behind a pot plant. They were laying and covering them with mulch. I seen 1 egg at first and thought "oh wow we got an egg in winter, then i seen the rest. I hope that they are ok to keep longer than two weeks.

most eggs was 20. We have found eggs in our inground empty pool, under a pile of wood, up in a hanging basket and next to the compost. Every summer this happens, always someone or several who hides their eggs outside and it feels like such a rip off!

I just moved to farm visited by2 completely free range hens and 2 roosters. The first hen laid 11 eggs u der a brush pile. Unfortunately we lost all 5 chicks. Now hen #2 is brooding in a terrible location where a sliding gate vibrates the eggs out of place. Yikes howdo we move her? She’s very aggressive.

Our largest find was from our day free range guineas, everyone in my family but me refuses to eat them..so we dont keep track of their laying. We have 9acres, 6 of which is wooded. Anyway a nest inthe brambles behind our trampoline of 82 guinea eggs from 5 hens! 😱

@AcresOfAdventure Жыл бұрын

Wow that is a huge nest!!! Have you ever tried the Guinea egg? I'd be curious to see how it tastes.

@bhatjibran453 Жыл бұрын

I dnno what's different. But i had free range chickens and they would always come to their nesting box to lay eggs. Even there was a single nesting box. Two of them would either share if they would fit or scare one away. They only laid two egg out of the nesting box in their first year

@AcresOfAdventure Жыл бұрын

Maybe they don’t like the boxes, it’s weird but so far 3 times they have laid it weird spots.

@bhatjibran453 Жыл бұрын

@@AcresOfAdventure Actually my father said that the chickens were used to the nesting boxes, since they started laying when they were in a limited space and continued to lay in the box even when they had large space available. I think you should keep close attention for a while and guide the chickens to the nesting boxes until they get used to it.

Do you think the hassle of missing eggs is worth the benefits of free ranging the chickens? I'm trying to determine if I should free range or confine my future chickens.

@AcresOfAdventure Жыл бұрын

I would say that depends on how large of an area you are free ranging them. If it is just in a fenced in backyard/run area then yes. But if it's in larger areas like pastures or woods than no. Our run is large enough that they will always have grass to free range on and its still a controlled area.

Ive found if i leave them in late enoughinthe morning most the eggs are laid in the coop..and some ladies are even nice enough to come back throughout the day to lay if they havent already in the morning.
