chickens

Our Leghorn hen was squawking like crazy...just went   out to see what was going on. She was down in  the window well to the basement window...thought she was stuck, but no, she flew out, and there I found 2 brown eggs from our Rhode Island Reds. The Leghorn lays white eggs, so I knew they weren't hers. I don't know if she was mad or she was trying to lay her own eggs there...but there was a Rhode Island Red watching her. I took the eggs  out of the window well....then the Rhode Island Red was sqwakin' and bawkin'.....who knows what goes through their minds!!! Too funny! Well, she eventually got bored and walked away....commotion is over. Had to throw away the eggs though...not sure how long they have been there!!! Don't worry, the eggs were not fertilized...we don't have any roosters...so it wasn't like the Red was protecting her babies or anything like that!
