Food nest

Our little Old English game hen, Timora, AKA Hen From Hell, has decided now to lay eggs in the chicken scratch bin. I keep the food in a tall garbage bin, slick sided and difficult to access. But, for her, it is a perfect place to leave eggs.

As I have said, my hens have nests, very nice nests. But, they don't use them. So, life continues to imitate some kind of surreal Easter egg hunt. So much more interesting than simply going down the line of nests and gathering eggs that the obedient hens have placed where I want them to put them.

For coloring outside the lines and thinking outside the (nesting) box, I appreciate the girls.
