They keep theirs up in a chicken yard and don't let them free range. I hope they aren't dying of broken hearts ending up at a strange place.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-31117565149651834442015-10-18T15:07:00.523-07:002015-10-18T15:07:00.523-07:00I loved reading that and I'm wondering where e...I loved reading that and I'm wondering where else you might find eggs in odd places...satellite dishes, laid down chimneys while you are sat watching television.<br /><br />To quote aforementioned "Choken Run"<br /><br />"Eggs...from heaven"<br /><br />"No....from her bum"Simon Douglas Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331409652996600049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-86191670925218949862015-10-18T15:01:38.344-07:002015-10-18T15:01:38.344-07:00Great story!
