The Hens are back to their old tricks...
This is hopeless...
We never did end up finding the nest...
I'm on the outside...And I'm looking in...
The Frozen Low Tide

Hey babe, I can see this blog turning into a Canadian version of the Chicken Run! If the buggers are hiding their eggs you can betcha ass they're planning an escape. Keep an eye on Darth Layer, I'm sure there is evil inside that one! And Big Smokie could be playing a role to distract you.
Keep your eyes peeled, a breakout could be imminent 😂
There most certainly is evil in Darth Layer...she's yours after all!!
We're going to have to get a steemit crew together to come over and fix up the greenhouse for the girls!!!
AWww...you're SOOOO sweet @!!!!!
great walking @lyndsaybows . I think we must To make greenhouse to hens. is't it?
thanks so much for your great post.
You cook eggs and feed them to your chickens? Savage. Cannibalism at it finest.. the fact that they eat them is fowl...
We used to give them eggshells but not the whole egg..
❤
I did not understand this...if you feed eggs to chicken then why you nourishing them..
interesting question...!
I also want to know that why eggs feed to chicken and not to your childrens..
When the eggs are outside for weeks, they are no longer good. They get frozen, and crack. Plus any rain or snow that gets on them too. It is a beautiful treat for the chickens. I cook the egg and the shell together, and it is very healthy for them.
I find this much less disturbing than this new fad of people eating their own placenta. And I think the chickens do it more for nourishment than for social media attention, but I could be wrong. Breast milk ice cream, cucumber "cleansing", hunting endangered species, puppy mills....why can't chickens be more like us??? Lol!
well explained, Thanks.
Im on the outside.... and im looking in.... HAHAHAH that was sooo funny lol. I should make a #walkwithme because they seem so cool and alows you to get creative. Awesome post btw. I love that giant panda that was inside haha🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awww, now it was my turn to make you laugh, this is so great!! I would love to go on a walk with you Joordanzzz!!
Done the walk 😁 @lyndsaybowes
Hahaha, those chickens must really be smart, but I am sure you will find their new hide-out. They just want to make you sweat a Lil. Thanks ma for sharing.
It certainly keeps life interesting Edith haha :) :) xo
When I was a kid my family had a chicken for a very short time. We didn't have a coop for it so the chicken would lay eggs all over the place. One of the chicken's favorite hiding places was inside my room inside my dirty laundry basket. I would go to do my laundry and find eggs in there.
I took a walk yesterday and I took some pictures. I think I will make one of these walk with me post. I didn't know that was a thing!
Oooh that's too funny!! In the friggin laundry basket LOLOL!!!
I will love to see your addition to the #walkwithme tag!! xoxo
I am happy the weather is warming up gradually. Lovely music, poor big smokie , he had his own time though.
Thank you for empathizing with Big Smokie <3 xoxo You're so sweet!
Wow...I have never seen that much ice in the cove. brrrrr...funny those chickens sending the boys on a wild goose chase looking for eggs. It's like an easter egg hunt in the winter. I need to send Opa down to fix that greenhouse once it's a little warmer. :)))))
There's not too much hope for old green, just wishing it can hold out on the one end for the winter :) :) :)
time for a brand new Green then..build and they will come
the chickens do this thing. its is mean one of two
You are a dictator or you have intelligent chickens....
I'm hoping for the latter haha :) :) :)
Good luck on the hunt tomo. Those chickenbitches are crafty :)
Thank you! I'll need all the luck I can get hahaa!!
Big Smokie can't seem to catch a break here! You had me laughing with the inclusion of the song too!
That's awesome, I'm glad you laughed from the song and I'm not the only one hahaha!!
Egg is a nutritious meal. It's delicious too. Eating is a different way. The way we eat, we get the best quality of eggs - its place after mother's milk. This protein contains all amino acids. About 100 percent of this protein is useful for the body. It is to be noted that 85 percent of milk protein, 76 percent of fish, 74 percent of meat and about 58 percent of the body is useful for the body.
You got it!!
Yes
Eggs should eat more than us
I agree, eggs were my baby's first food after breastmilk, I think they are a perfect food!
Ahahahahaha...you made my day with this post! You "took me back home" with the frustrations of daily easter egg hunts and had me busting a gut at the same time. I will definitely be checking more of your posts out when I finish studying tomorrow!
I'm so glad to hear I made you laugh and smile :) That's the greatest compliment ever... <3
Unlike lakes, it seems ocean can never freeze solid because of tides. I used to have rebellious chickens who like to hide their eggs. It was annoying at first but I finally forgave them. ;-) They lay eggs trying to have their offsprings, anyway. :-)
Yeah, I would not mind if they were actually trying to hatch them, but instead they leave the eggs to freeze...
Hmmm ... don't know why they do that, then. I have never seen wild birds doing that. Maybe their natural instincts have been gone after being heavily bred to suit our need. Just a thought. ;-)
Another search and rescue. Hopefully you will find where the little rascals hid I mean laid there eggs. They are trying to keep you on your toes help keep you warm by making you do search and rescue. hahaha <3<3
It sure keeps things interesting around here haha! :)
hahaha I imagine it does keep life interesting. Try to keep warm : )
Heat-vision goggles would help find those delicious eggs, I betcha!
Hmmm...might work if I got out there right as one was laid, other than that I think once the hen leaves the nest they freeze up pretty fast.
Your hens are cleaver but why they like to lay their eggs on the new location? Is they eat their eggs? Ocean is looking so cold...
They don't eat the raw eggs, thank goodness!
Good Morning, @lyndsaybowes,
your another interesting #walkwithme episode. always love to see your wonderful shots. as stryder searches for eggs just like same my baby daughter love hens and excited when hen laid egg, that's interesting and full of excitemnt activities for children. The song in video is amazing. good luck madam, see u next. thanks for sharing such a nice photos here.
Fog everywhere here in morning.
I wave at you through the fog! :) Thanks for loving the pictures! I love your photos too!
Thanks a lot madam @lyndsaybowes for your support and appreciations,
Stay blessed you and your family.
SEarching for eggs seems very hard job in this cold weather... you need this hen
This would be ideal... :) :)
It's so beautiful where you are! Also, I never thought I would find a chicken aesthetically pleasing, but the black one (Hercules?) is kind of pretty. All chickens should be that colour :)
Thank you so much for appreciating the beauty, I love Herc's feathers too, they're so gorgeous.
I wonder if our chickens send messages to eachother through the crows, encouraging eachother to go adventure and find new places to lay. It wouldn't surprise me. Just look into their eyes, so much being said that we can't understand with our human brains...
You may have a point there...
I need to whip out my camera more. Beautiful shots and the theme? Amazing,. So random and fun!
I would love to see a #walkwithme from you @stanley-md!
Done. Posted it hours ago. Thanks for the inspiration.
I have never experienced this side of life. It must be so much fun as well as hard work to search for the eggs and manage the hens in this weather. I am not sure how can you manage so much cold. Just looking at the frozen water I am almost freezing out :)
The giant panda hens are too cute
Thank you so much for your meaningful comment :)
Damn, I bet your kids win EVERY easter egg hunt they come accross lol it's really not fair to the other kids @lindsaybowes ... your boys are egg hunting battle tested!
HAHA I'll have to put that to the test this year, take them to a real big event!!
My mother has fond off of Hens. She has almost 50 hens in our home. She look after them around the clock and we get eggs, chicken n soup(pure) in Winter season. Why you don't use Wheat husk for hens to lay eggs. Here is picture of Wheat husk:

I joined you in late December,17 and can't aware of much about your stories. But it seems very interesting. Now onward I'm regular viewer of your blogs and you will get my comments.
By the way your pictures are very nice but last 3,4 pictures are looking so dangerous.
Keep it up your good work @lyndsaybowes and Stay Blessed!
Beautiful, thank you for telling me a little bit about how you raise your chickens!
looks like a fair mission! I hope you find them. I wouldn't be game to crawl into that hole for a look.Ive spotted some up bush and i reckon a camera on a selfie stick...
I love your chicken posts :) Today was the first day in over a week that I let my gals and two fellas out into their tiny run. They are excited and sqwaking away. Today I'm gonna try and move my quail. I'll try and snap shots too to make it into a post. It's funny now how we thing of a chore and then think, would it be a post as well? Life in the digital age, eh?
Steem definitely keeps me motivated and creative! I'll go look for your new quail post!!
Quite amazing to see how chickens are smart! I'm surprised how quick they adapt and find new hiding places for their eggs!
I love your new @walkwithme idea because I really enjoy taking the walk with you and looking for the chicken nests.
Poor Big Smokey, he is so beautiful and so lonely.
@joordanzzz just posted one with our walk today and I hope you will enjoy it too.
Awesome, I'm going to check out your walk!!
Was told once that an egg can be good for a couple days so always leave one egg a day when gathering eggs but take a marker an put a dot on the one u leave an swap it out the next time so it don't go bad . Or get a fake egg an leave in the nest . That is to keep them going back to the same nest. :) Just an opinion
Ooooh GREAT IDEA!!! Thank you I will be on the lookout for some plastic eggs and will try that!!
So is it your place for a steemit easter egg hunt? lol But seriously I can relate, we're always finding eggs in really obscure places! I really enjoy taking some time out of my day and following you on another beautiful @walkwithme post , your whole area has become something of a second home for me. I missed it whilst being ill over Christmas so it's great to come back and see what you've been up to .. well what the chickens have been up to anyway lol
Thanks for coming by, I hope one day we can show you around in real life!! xoxoxo You're feeling all better now?
I would love to be shown around in real life :D To be honest I'm still not great, I have a mountain of work and I'm finding it difficult to get into the year. Looking forward to getting back on track and into the Steemit groove!
Oooh so sorry to hear that... :'( Sending healing hugs over the waves to you!!!
Those birds are a trip. I feel kind of sorry for the boys cause the chickens are pretty sly about their hiding places. How many chickens have you got now? The pictures of the frozen water are just wild. Hope you didn’t look into the faces of the dead. 🐓🐓
I only looked for a second haha, just while I took the pic, I was careful not to be drawn in... LOL!!
OMG! @lyndsaybowes... I came to say Happy New Year and ended up going for a walk with you. I enjoyed the walk immensely. I would have had to stick up for my godchicken if you had called him stupid. 🤣 Love ya, sissy!
Awww...little Parker....he's never caused no one any harm, he's so timid and cute...
effective way to grow up hen.love to read it
I love to hear stories about other peole's flocks. Looking forward to hearing more about yours!
Thank you for finding this interesting @ligayagardener!
i feel like i am with you on the way you have taken some great picture all the way so its really a nice move from you man thanks for sharing with us
That frozen low tide reminds me of a glacier.
Yes, the icebergs will be formed soon!
Woah, the frozen low tide shots are crazy! Great that you still get out to walk and go on adventures when it is that cold. It’s fun to see shots from around your homestead. :-)
I tend a huddle inside with the blanket this time of year, and we don’t even have snow right now! Haha
Yep sometimes I sacrifice the blanket to go outside hahaa!! It feels good always, once the walk is done :)
I have to say - your kiddos on 'the hunt' are just the cutest! So sorry this one didn't turn up anything. But I'm sure there's plenty of opportunity.
I'm new to Steemit and have only posted 2 blogs so far. My intro & a #walkwithme. From some place where the tide doesn't freeze but it is hazy here too.
I'm so glad you joined Steemit!! You will love this!!
You should put Mr. Pendock on the case I bet the ladies will be on the line after it!!!
HAHAHAAA!!!! Good one!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Inspector Pendock!
wow..very nice photography
Great job sir.Its really amazing photography.Upvot and resteem done.
Cute little eggs
