egg gathering
Morning coop rounds
Egg gathering is the practice of collecting eggs from poultry, typically chickens, as a routine farm chore or backyard activity.
The term evokes a pastoral image of visiting henhouses with a basket: The children help with egg gathering every morning.
It can also refer to collecting wild bird eggs, though this practice is now restricted or prohibited in many places.
