[CHICKENS-101] Re: How to manage free range egg laying in odd places?

 

As far as them hiding under porches or ramps... put latice up to keep them out. I'm going to have to do that this year. What I'm also going to do this year is make regular rounds through the yard and check the "hiding" places, along with cleaning up those places ;).

It's a constant task.

Now what could have eaten the egg? Would cats eat eggs? We have a woman across the street who has a dozen of the furry creatures. I hope it was one of them. I hate to think there might be something else crawling around my yard.
