Our chickens have done that a couple of times. Although they have a lovely warm and safe chicken shed, our best layer and favourite chicken Skippy (who was killed before xmas) once layed 15 eggs under the honeysuckle! Perhaps she preferred the smell of it to the coup! When I went to let the chooks and geese out yesterday morning, the geese had produced 4 eggs!!!Debra in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043535993839224545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-57989890812420481142009-02-09T03:40:00.000+01:002009-02-09T03:40:00.000+01:00Hens will lay their eggs in whatever place they th...Hens will lay their eggs in whatever place they think safe.<BR/><BR/>Toronto stays cold until March, and spring comes about a month before Alberta has it, at mid-April. I've seen heavy snowfall on the third weekend in May in southern Alberta, but it melts.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-63888878708777490112009-02-08T18:49:00.000+01:002009-02-08T18:49:00.000+01:00Dear dND,Thanks so much for dropping by my blog!

V impressed at self-sufficiency, just you and the animals, it sounds wonderful and very hard work all at the same time. Wow - you have alpacas for fibre, that is fascinating!! I love what I've read of your blog so far and will add it to my blog roll. Hope to keep in touch!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03381873315065246232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-62126971784251317612009-02-08T18:37:00.000+01:002009-02-08T18:37:00.000+01:00Aims, Cottage industry - a few for sale but the re...Aims, Cottage industry - a few for sale but the rest for fibre - knitted and crocheted goods.<BR/><BR/>Snow still to come!

I mentioned you and your alpacas and his first question was - "What is she doing with them? Raising them for their fibre?"<BR/><BR/>I realized I don't know. Have I ever asked? Have you said?<BR/><BR/>It smelled like spring here yesterday as it was just above freezing. But we know better here. The 'real' snow doesn't hit until about March and April. That's when we get the biggest and heaviest snowfalls. So I enjoyed the smell while I could.aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.com
