Tai and the egg

Every time we gather the eggs from the chicken coop the dogs jump up trying to see what we have in our hands. I suppose there is a smell or something on them. 

Last night I was planting some flowers and found that one of the chickens had gotten into the flower bed and laid an egg in one of the day lilies. She tore half of the plant out as well trying to make her nest.

I'm not sure why she decided that was a good place to do it, they have nice cushy nest boxes already!

I put the egg in one of the plant trays until I was done planting. I went around the edge of the house to plant some more, and I could hear a noise on the deck. I came back around the corner and Tai had the egg out of the tray, and was pawing it around the deck. He was very gentle with it, he was just rolling it around. I went into the house to get the camera, but by the time I came back out the egg was broke.

Both dogs were then just trying to figure out what this weird thing was.

Goofy bad dog!
