I have eggs but no ducks, chickens or geese.

How strange! Sorry I can't give an answer, but I've never heard of foxes burying eggs. I look forward to hearing other answers and hope you find the culprit.

I just had to Google this strange query ! It would appear that Foxes DO bury eggs having carried them very gently in their mouth. How very odd !

that was weird , i think you have the culprit,as foxes do carry eggs and bury them as shirley said.what a beautiful yoke on that one,i could just imagine the taste with soldiers. LOL

Yes a while ago I found eggs buried in my garden a few times too. I googled it and came up with the same answer as Shirley plus some fabulous photos of the culprit in action.

well i have never heard of this foxes storing food. . The compost is being used as a fridge or larder, how clever is your fox !

I think I have lost one of my tree ferns. The reason I mention this is that last year he wasn't as good as the other two, I didnt really think a lot about this but I do remember planting near it and I dug up a large piece of pork rind.
I wasnt sure what it was at the time but I'm wondering if this had something to do with my tree fern not being very vigorous. Now I know that foxes bury things that might have had something to do with it.

Clever fox. Now you've found his larder you can save yourself a fortune or leave shopping lists LoL

My money is on the fox!

He will probably come back tonight and wonder where his supper has gone!

Check the freshness of an egg by setting it in a glass of water. If it floats its bad. Or rotten.

How strange, i've had them bury half a loaf of bread, aswell as a bird feed suet block, in my front garden but eggs .... amazing !
My neighbour found an opened packet of biscuits in hers last week !

Milkmen round here can't leave bread on the doorstep for customers due to Foxes dragging the loaves away !

Well !!!
This is a really interesting topic !

I (or actually my dog ) found a lambs head buried in the flower border--- quite a shock!! then a yorkshire pudding also buried -- we thought a fox storing a sunday lunch ??

Ohhh dear, fancy finding that head :-(((

Did you find the mint sauce Pam?......:o)

I know its gory reading,but it has made me smile..sorry,folks..as it won't be funny to you. I have never heard this before.I can just picture the bread ,and yorkshire pudding being dragged away...The cubs must be eating better than us Lol.

sadly not ! it was the texture of the yorkshire having been buried for a couple of days that made me more squemish--- at least I knew what the head was!!!
you should have seen Kate ( my late english setter) very carefully pawing the soil and looking at me with such a confused expression its remained with me :0)

yuck what horrible things to find a head!!there not called sly foxes for nothing

Not a clue, how they got there.

no clarice I must admit foxy 's quite a neat digger -- soil was hardly disturbed :)

Oh,Pam,I can imagine how disgusting the yorkshire pudding would look like.ugh.
...No Gravy.!!!

Sorry to add to the gory bit, found the leg of a deer (whole one too) something had eaten most of the top meaty bit and just left the bottom half complete with hoof, how it got it over the fence with it we will never know.

we just don't really know what goes on -- even in our own gardens--- I read the other day ( Saga magazine) that the most common mammal in Britain ( no not the rat) is the vole, bank and field together outnumer us by about half as many again-- something like 1500 per acre in a good spring-- totally vegetarian and hardly ever seen! and are massiverly important in the food chain altough this fluctuates to a poor spring and less than 200 per acre --- all this goes on and to quote Manuel---- we no nuttthin!---

A fox I knew of used to bury an egg each morning for the vixen and cubs to dig up in the evening. The cubs would play 'football' with it before eating it. It was lovely to watch, from behind the curtain in the lounge.

very interesting to find out about foxes burrying eggs, wonder where he is pinching them from lol

I am guilty of giving foxes our out of date eggs because I know they are hungry and have cubs. I get immense pleasure watching them so gently rolling the egg with their paw and picking them up so gently with their mouth then strolling down the garden to hide them and then coming back for more. They have also eaten them on the spot and licked the shell till there is no more. I know I am wrong doing this, but !?
