Maybe Raven Mad - but doesn't need egging on .......

One of our chooks, when let out for a run, has the habit of laying her egg in a shallowed out nest at the base of one of the gum trees.

She's a pretty good layer, but recently sems to have gone off the boil - no eggs for several days.  On the weekend, Robbie noticed there was a freshly laid offering, but decided not to collect it - instead leaving it for our grand-daughter to find later.  When she went looking, lo and behold, not an egg in sight.

So, I set up a camera and we "planted" a recently collected egg in the usual spot.  About an hour later, sure enough - no egg.

Here's the culprit ........
