They consistently roll the golf balls out causing them to drop down below but leave any eggs there. Now it all makes sense!Sustainable Eatshttp://www.sustainableeats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842136564899097734.post-15720930002828128842010-03-29T13:24:31.703-07:002010-03-29T13:24:31.703-07:00That makes me think of our emus.

With emus the hen lays the eggs and the rooster cares for them, incubates them and cares for the chicks.<br /><br />We have a couple of roos out here who will do everything they can to camoflage the eggs by pulling grass and covering them and they're quite good at it. We once went out in a pen after laying season and found a nest that had 9 eggs in it and we'd been walking past that nest for a couple months looking for eggs. Never saw it.... That's saying a lot considering how big an emu egg is!Joanne Riguttonoreply@blogger.com
