Readers have been trying to crack the mystery of why eggs keep cropping up in Hemel Hempstead gardens.
The HeraldExpress reported last week how a Hemel Hempstead woman has been baffled for years by chicken eggs found buried in her flower pots.
And after Adeyfield resident Gina Bull came forward, other readers have been in touch to tell how their m
inds have been scrambled by mystery garden eggs.
Musarat Mehmood, of Barnacres Road, Hemel Hempstead, said: "We found a few eggs at the back of my garden – proper chicken eggs.
"One or two were buried, and one or two were nice and clean.
"I was stunned by it."
According to experts from the RSPCA, the most likely answer to the garden eggs mystery is foxes who steal food and then bury it.
Another reader, Sharon Waylett, of High Street Green, Hemel Hempstead, said she had found eggs in her plant pots - and had spotted a fox in her garden.
She said: "We believe it has to be the fox.
"There're white pebbles on top of the plant pots. He takes those away and puts the egg in the corner."
She added: "We see him sitting on the wall.
"He's quite bold - it's fascinating to watch."
Spokesman for the RSPCA, Justine Pannett, said last week it was possible foxes could be stealing eggs from early morning milk rounds.
