Well this morning we got a little suprize, like black fuzzy chick. We have a couple of egglayers and the one hen went broody on us, no roster - she sat on unfertilized eggs for weeks, finally I said if you are so determined I will get some fertilized eggs, neighbour gave me 8 of them put them under her just over three weeks ago. My son was really excited and we will see if any of the others hatch today. Thought I would share and I will try to get a picture later today.

I am trying the little guy is staying warm under its mummy. I think it is cool really excited. Monday we are getting a silkie roaster. Somehow I think I just spelt something you cook in - ever try to type one of those words you never had a reason to type before and spell check doesn't even know the difference. LOL

So how do you spell male chicken - chickens are a blast and even more now for me since the eggs started hatching. They really are easy to take care of, they eat all the kitchen scraps. Fresh eggs are great, you will never want to eat another store bought one after you have your own chickens.

Well I got a picture of him poking his head out, only one has hatched today so far, I read they can be up to 3 days apart, hopefully he will have a litle brother or sister. Last picture is Mr Clover enjoying his view from the sun room.

People should be more like animals, I heard the funniest thing on the radio the other day, the guy said people should be like dogs - they want to say hi to everyone, only thing don't do any sniffing, if you know what I mean, LOL

Looks like there is only going to be one, the hen took her out of the nesting box today, Hersey as my son named the hen. Looks like the little guy is doing well he is eating and drinking - kinda neat to see the hen with the baby she does not take her eyes off of it. She trust me to touch the baby so keep our fingers crossed for the little guy.
