The chickens each have their favorite spots to lay their eggs. We've found most of them, although I'm sure there are a few hiding eggs in hard to find places. I used up a bale in the haymow and discovered an egg behind it. The egg grabber was long enough to get it and it wasn't even frozen!
One of the main locations is up in the haymow on the right side. There's a bunch of loose hay there, and almost every time I go out to the shed there's a chicken there with a few eggs under her. That's nice because the eggs are constantly kept warm and don't freeze!
(The picture is dark because I've been doing chores early in the morning before Jaron wakes up.)
Another popular egg laying location is under the milking stand. This is where I frequently find frozen eggs- no insulation. The ducks like to lay here.
Then we have the feed tub layers. There's usually 2-3 eggs in each of the goat feed tubs.
