Secret Undercover bush eggs: two. Nest box eggs: none – definitely not. Feed hopper: three-quarters full. Cunning, undercover, secret-egg-laying chicken agents: three.
This is a load of fun – we each sneak off as usual to lay eggs but they are definitely all in the same nest this time. I have to saunter off in the direction of the nest box, then when Jack isn’t watching I slip down the bank to our secret nest. When we each rejoin the flock after laying in this lovely nest we just give the other two co-conspirators the merest suggestion of a wink - a slight raising of the third eyelid to indicate success. Sneaky.
I have also come up with an Awesome Acronym for us: S.U.N. (Secret Undercover Nest). Wicked!
