Funniest place you found a nest

The last one was under a palm fron in the horse's front turnout paddock. I have no clue how he didn't step on her! And what ever made her to decide that was a nice place - "out in the middle of no where - under a fron" Silly Chickens - I guess it worked - she got to keep her eggs and hatched 9 chicks out on her own. By the time I found where she was I didn't have the heart to "abort" them. She had already been sitting a week.

 

One RIR hid her nest in between two rows of stacked firewood. We didn't find her for a while because she was the same color as the wood! Another time she hid it under our house. It is a log cabin with lots of crawl space. And finally, in our detached garage. The door was ajar, and she found a box of clothes that someone had forgot to close the lid on. All the same RIR, mind you, with no rooster so it was sad and pointless.

 

I have Stepford chickens. They lay in the nests.

 

ive found a nest in my horses feed , the hen was sitting on her eggs while my horse way eating . he looked sorta confused lol

 

inside our smoker


under the mower

under the bushhog

 

I have a homemade self-feed feeder and it sits off the ground just a little maybe three inches and yesterday I found a nest under there.

We have also found them in the wood pile, in the hay bale and behind the shop behind a barrel!

 

Under the roosts. Pah-hooey! Bleck! Uck!

 

It took us a while to realize someone was using our planter as a nesting box. It is quite high up. When I climbed up and peeked inside there were 24 green eggs up there!

I took Granny's picture (from the ground) and left the eggs for my husband to see (I wanted him to climb up and take a picture for me) and he cleaned them out before I could tell him, I was so sad.

It looked like some sort of loot all green and piled up so high! The only reason I found them was that an egg fell out (or she laid it over the side) and was broken on the patio.

They sure are funny critters......

 

I found mine in the feeder....
