There is a glut* of eggs that come in the spring. When summer's heat hits, the birds lay less. They lay even less in the winter, if at all. During this season of plenty, I am preserving (water glassing, freezing, dehydrating) all of the eggs I can for the leaner season.
I decided I do not want these eggs.
Our wise Leghorn hen laid where there is built-in protection. I've been introduced to those thorns before. She can have her nest. Maybe we will get some chicks?
I'll let you know if she starts sitting.
*For our ESL friends: an excessively abundant supply of something
