The nest!
Nest:
a structure in which animals lay eggs or give birth to their young
a cozy or secluded retreat
move or arrange oneself in a comfortable or cozy position
I would have to say that I think I may have been born to nest.
Which is why, now that I have a few ‘girls’ that are very partial to nesting, I have a really, really hard time removing them to gather their eggs.
It’s painful for me {as I’m sure that it must be for them} to take them from their comfy little spot and rob them of there {potential} babies.
It just doesn’t seem right!!! …but, I do it anyway {sometimes!} 😉
Remember Penelope?
She’s doing fine! She was in the house for a couple of weeks then I had to get her adjusted back in with the others…a problem that I didn’t take into consideration until after I had removed her.
Now, Beauregard, on the other hand has been quite a handful. He’s turned protective and a bit mean. When I was taking the pictures inside the hen house I made sure that he was outside then I shut the little door so he wouldn’t come in and attack disturb me. When I re-opened it, he was right there just waiting to get in and do his thing…so, I bent down real quick and snapped this shot of him.
That picture makes me laugh!
