I found our missing hen, Blanket, this morning. She had started brooding & set up her own nest to hatch some chicks, unfortunately she would have a long wait since we don't have a cock, therefore no fertile eggs (see birds & bees lesson two). Must keep a close watch on her till she settles - isn't nature just magic?
OMG 10 eggs and she was only gone a few days.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that she wants chicks but can't have any :-(
or am I thinking too much on that cause I'm a soppy first time mum ;-)
