I haven't kept chickens for a few years.
I have no neighbours that live nearby that keep chickens either.
Yesterday I found a chickens egg in the lawn buried by a tree. It looked like there was a little hole made for it and it had been revealed by strimming the grass in that area.
I was a bit curious and cracked it open - just to smell  as I couldn't believe it had laid there to rest for a few years. It was fresh!
So just this morning I'm clearing a patch of long grass and crap from an area where I want to put my sweet peas....and there's another one?!!
Answers on a postcard please.....
How far will a fox carry an egg?

No stamps- no boys here either.
This second egg looks like a marans egg - doesn't show well on the photo. It's quite dark.

I had a little DuckDuck and you're not the only one - apparently squirrels bury hen's eggs and foxes.

Some how Moth, I don't think there will be any foxes buried in the garden, if Scarlet managed to find the eggs shourly even she would have noticed signs that would be left, if a squirrel had buried one!

I should have known that my "foxes" afterthought would fall fowl of someone.

Didn’t know trees buried eggs Scarlet.
Any further forward with the mystery?
