Thelma Lou moves to the Slums

For some reason Thelma Lou does not like her digs at Mayberry and has chosen to move to the slums! 

We noticed a drop in egg production and also noticed that Thelma Lou was always OUTSIDE the coop. Upon further investigation we saw her squeeze underneath an old American Standard Bathtub circa 1930's and settle in. She nestled down and began choosing leaves and twigs around her to "feather her new nest". Bob's thoughts were, "she's happy, leave her alone." Of course this intrigued me and I kept an eye on her throughout the day. At dusk we discovered this nest had 5 eggs in it! So...since hens only lay one egg a day, it would appear that Thelma Lou has been slumming for quite some time!

 The eggs were gathered and the next day Thelma Lou AGAIN made her way to her new ramshackle nest. She seemed quite happy to be there and at the end of the day simply made her way to the gate and we ushered her inside with no fanfare whatsoever!

Not one to tamper with nature I figure I will just let her be and continue to gather eggs from the slums!
