Secret Nest

We were experiencing a lull in egg collections.
All the normal egg laying spots remained almost empty for days.
So I did some snooping, and finally one afternoon I found it.
The secret nest.
Twenty-five eggs coated in a slight film of dirt.
Laid faithfully between one wall of the compost bin
and the soft edge of an old curtain.
A lovely spot to lay one...an egg that is.
IF, of course, you are a chicken.As I type this post,
I can hear loud clucks coming from the chicken run.
No doubt it is a hen boasting about her current egg creation,
Possibly laid in this very spot.
