Mystery in planter!

Pesky burrowing chickens...!

Maybe a squirrel? I get baby oak trees in my tubs from the acorns they've buried and haven't come back for

There was a similar thread a few weeks ago and GN posters thought it was probably a fox burying the egg.

Oh, sorry , I didn’t see that thread. We haven’t had foxes for a year or so, although that seems the only solution. But, where did the fox get a whole, perfectly good egg?

Don't apologise aquagran. I only mentioned the other thread because of the fox. I've not personally found an egg buried in the garden etc.
Yes, it's a mystery as to where the egg came from in the first place isn't it?

A fox will be the culprit! I once found a whole chicken carcass buried in my garden.

I’ve had exactly the same thing. I can only guess at foxes.

I think I posted exactly the same question a while ago. Digging our potato patch we found a nice brown hen’s egg. Answer mostly came down on the side of a fox.

Foxes love eggs and can carry one gently in their jaws. Is a real prize.

I expect he got it from a hen 😀

The fox that buries them in our garden gets them from a neighbour 2 doors down he puts them out for it. The amazing thing is he jumps two 4ft fences without breaking them before they are buried.

Sounds like the Easter Bunny is busy early!

Thanks everybody, that’s amazing.

Unfortunately the egg wasn’t made of chocolate lixy 😂.

Just found a complete ,round bird feeder fat ball in a planter. !!!

My son in law now tells me that he found amazing things buried in pots when he worked at a nursery! All buried by foxes he presumed!😂
