Our neighbors chickens have started coming over to our house every morning to visit with our girls. Well, in that process, they have decided to stay for most of the day and lay their eggs in OUR chicken coop. At first, we got a little excited when we found the first egg, thinking that our chickens had finally 'arrived' in their time of laying eggs. But nope...we soon realized it was the Lokey's chickens just using our laying boxes. The first few days, we didn't say anything because we just weren't sure - then the beginning of this week, Del told them he thought we were getting their eggs...sure enough, they confirmed that they were finding less and less eggs over in their laying boxes and wondered what was happening to their chickens. We've laughed about it since and have decided to just keep whatever each of us gets, as our chickens fly over into their yard too, and will probably continue to do so even when they start laying.
So, between the 19 chickens we have, we should be just fine in the egg department for awhile.
