Chicken fingers!
You provided prime nesting material, what else could she do?
I give them plane shavings in their proper nest boxes. Some of the chickens still lay there, just this one has moved to my shed.
They've been living free range for a while, apparently the foxes around here aren't very hungry.
Dog has a concerned look. um me thinks this maybe not the best place to lay them.
I honestly can't fault her instincts. While the location isn't ideal due to the hardware, the cabinet is dark, saw dust is excellent nest insulation, and it'll be fairly easy for you to clean up her droppings when you're ready to move her back into the coop.
Lol, did the Border Collie find the stow away?
Yeah, they're friends. The dog gives cuddles to the chicken and they sleep together on the back verandah.
She may be sick of you stealing eggs... gonna teach ya a lesson!
I like to tease and confuse chickens with dubious tactics.
