The inevitable rock picture.

and girls again.

Look at these chickens.  Don't they look like honest, run of the mill, hardworking hens?

Aren't those faces you could trust?  Count on?  Dependable.

Well, they aren't.  These hens are deceitful, sneaky no good cheats.  They have a beautiful chicken house, with a concrete floor, electricity and running water.  What chicken wouldn't love to lay her eggs here?

But nooooooo.  We have to lay our eggs in the barn.  The dark barn.  The snakey barn.  The not close to the house barn.

I was innocently poking around said barn this afternoon, when I spotted this............and thought "Oh, an egg.  I will pick it up."   Then when I leaned forward...........

I saw this.  No less than thirty eggs hidden up here in the barn.  And I tell you what, it was no small chore getting those babies outta there either.  I almost broke my leg trying to reach them.  I eventually dragged them all out, even though to reach in there I wasn't able to actually look where I was grabbing.  This picture was taken by me shoving the camera in the hole and pushing the button.   I kept doing that in case there was a snake or something.  Take a picture, then look at it to see exactly what I'm reaching into.  I figured if there was a possum I'd see it.

When confronted with the evidence, everyone clammed up.  No confessions from anyone.

I'm pretty sure Peepers is innocent, she's too young to lay eggs yet.

Smokes, on the other hand, is absolutely guilty.  She has very distinctive feathers, and I found one at the crime scene.

Hagrid played dumb, but I'm pretty sure he was in on the cover up. 

There's gonna be a crackdown around here.
