Not-so-Easter "egg hunt"

Every afternoon when we all get in from school we get our cups and containers together and head out to the carport to get crack corn, laying mash, whole corn, and sometimes a little bird seed. Bird seed is their "little debbie snack"...can't have it everyday but it's so yummy every once in a while. Then we head out to feed all the chickens and go on our not-so-Easter egg hunt! We have a house for them to lay eggs in but some of them are determined to lay in some pretty creative places! So we go on our egg hunt to find all of the eggs...it can get pretty funny sometimes.

Taylor (Carson's buddy from school) loves to go on egg hunts with us when she comes over to play. Carson is going thru the briars to get the egg that Taylor is pointing out...can you see it...it is light brown and near the base of the tree.

Taylor got it! She is practicing for the REAL Easter Egg Hunt!

This is the hen house where they are suppose to lay their eggs.

Gage has spotted one under the laying boxes that he had to get.

Taylor got 2 eggs...

Carson found one in another egg...see it really is an egg hunt!

Brad taking the kiddos out to feed the other chickens...the Americanas. They lay the blue/green eggs! They are pretty civilized birds because all of them lay where they are suppose to right in their boxes they we have made for them. No egg hunts in this pen!

Toby loves this chickens. He will just sit and smile at them most of the time but in this picture is wanting me to let me him down so he can go after them today!
