Nesting Hens

Today I was getting ready to take the mower out and look what I saw!

That's a chicken nest!  Here's a closed-up:

Our laying hens are getting up in age.  They don't lay too much anymore, so we let them out of their pen so they could live out their days free-ranging around the property. 

One hen, our Araucana built herself a little nest under the mower!  You can't really tell from the picture, but her eggs are pale green.  The kids named her "Holiday" because her eggs are like Easter Eggs.  Here's a picture of her:

I guess she still has some life in her!!
