We had thought we were down to only 1 chook laying, as since the weekend we have been only getting 1 egg to collect from the chook house. Well today I discovered that at least 2 of the chooks have snubbed our chook house palace (well I think it is) - with 3 nesting boxes to choose from - and decided to make their own nesting spot in a grassy plant thing under Ben and Joanna's bedroom window! (I retrieved 8 eggs from this spot this morning, after having a passing thought that the chooks seemed to be spending a bit of time in the above mentioned garden)
Yes that is a problem of having free range chooks. I think Tom's parents overcome this problem by not letting the chooks out til a certain time. I can check for you.
Some random thoughts, photos and news from the world of the Waldecks in Hamilton, NZ (previously Brisbane, Australia) Please feel free to leave a comment (drop us an email at waldecks AT gmail DOT com if you have trouble logging in)
