About an hour ago I went out to check for eggs, and when I got into the barn I saw this naughty girl coming out from behind some windows that we are eventually going to use for a greenhouse.
So I looked behind the windows and this is what I found.. Some naughty hens have been laying eggs for a couple of weeks without telling me! I looked in this exact spot about 2 weeks ago and there was nothing there!
Those naughty girls! I have not tested to see if they are bad yet and they most likely aren't, but I will still check just to make sure!
To test if eggs are bad just get a big cup and fill it with water, wait for the egg to settle. If the egg floats it is bad, if it stays nice and steady on the bottom, then it is not!
I took all the eggs out except for two so they will hopefully keep laying there!
When I went to check for other eggs I saw
Lady sitting on one of the normal nests. Hopefully she teaches the other hens a lesson on how to lay eggs in the normal spots, but that wouldn't be any fun would it?

Oh I envy you. I love fresh eggs, they are nothing like what you can get in the market!
I know that trick for telling if eggs are good or bad, and believe me, I use it whenever I buy eggs at the store! One cannot be too careful about eggs!!
Thank you for telling us that trick! Beautiful image of the nest and those gorgeously arranged eggs...the colors are only as Mother Nature can achieve.
AWWWK! I've eaten BAD, floating eggs before! Maybe boiling them kills the bad stuff cause I'm still here.... I'll pick out the floaters from now on, thank the hens for me:)
I hate getting eggs from the store!
I have never done it with eggs from the store... Thanks for visiting!
Thanks so much Taylor ;)
Oh I hope I never eat a bad egg!
Glad you found the nest. It's like Easter every day!
Whao..it must be really cool to have fresh eggs daily.
Naughty chickens! Hopefully they will start laying where they're supposed to.

A nest filled with beautiful eggs is such a treat to see. The lovely shading of colors are wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Clever girls, they found a very idyllic place for laying their eggs! What a beautiful nest♥!
I am so happy to know this test for whether eggs have gone bad. I'll bet I've thrown some out before their time just to be safe.
=)
I beat your fresh eggs make a wonderful breakfast.
What a surprise! Glad you found them and I hope they can't count. :)
Those sneaky hens... OR rooster? Great for the letter U. Hope you found the eggs before Easter??
The eggs are really pretty!
I never knew that is how you check to see if eggs are bad...
