Nesting...

A few years back, after much agonizing, I brought 4 chickens home. They have been a constant source of entertainment (and eggs!) I keep getting more chickens, and now at night when I tuck them into their cozy coop I count 22 beaks. This year I got a little crazy when ordering spring chicks, it seems. As these new birds begin to lay, most figure out that the nice next boxes in the coop are the place to deposit eggs... but some get more creative. We found this little nest in the herb garden, tucked up under the sage plant. It was so pretty I had to snap a shot to share.
