A friend of mine has asked me for a good GPS method to find out where

A GPS tracker comes to mind but some

seem good but expensive.
Does anyone have any cheap (and possibly smaller) alternatives?

I guess there are issues with free-range chickens that never would have
occurred to me.
The transmitter idea Bruce gave seems reasonable. Then the eggs brought
a whole additional set of weird problems to my mind. Just because you
know where the chickens have been doesn't mean it will be easy to find
the eggs. Don't you need some kind of egg laying sensor too? Twisted
thoughts of a flap with a microswitch, or infrared beam sensors.
Strange robo-chicken images bouncing in my head that will take a while
to clear. Thanks a lot.
