Take a look at the picture (of my very messy barn) below, and see if you can find the hidden hen!
Don't see her? Well, take a closer look ...
Getting closer ...
Here she is!
You found her! Yes, that's right -- she was hiding in a box of trash!
Now, exactly what instinct is it that tells a chicken the best place to lay her fragile eggs is in a box of rusty screws and nails? Hmm.... I don't think I have the smartest poultry on the planet.
And yes, as of today this hen's name officially became Spot.

Too funny...and I thought our hens were bad.:)
Ha! It's like an Easter Egg hunt every day at your place! :)
Smart... poultry. Kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? :)
Hahahahaha!! That was super cute, Jo!!! You must have let them roam in the goats' pen!!! Too funny!!!
hens will find the oddest places to lay eggs. you would think that nails and screws would be an uncomfortable place to sit.
I find the thought of that "nest" extremely . . . uncomfortable! Sorta like sleeping on a bed of nails? Bird-brains!
Finding eggs in our barn is indeed an easter hunt. I never imagined she would have chosen that spot, though! Yeah, it's easy to see where the expression 'bird brain' came from.
