The secret stash....

This happens to me once every six months... I notice a drop-off in the number of eggs my hens are laying. I ignore it - figure they're just taking a break. I happen to glance under the coop, and notice what appears to be one egg. I investigate. It's a pile of thirty eggs.

Maybe make a note to check under the coop every 6 months.

So, what do you do then?
....and how often has this happened?
You either have a lot of chickens or are not reacting in a very timely manner.
