Hen Wisdom

All is quiet on Blogger today; uploading is working quite nicely! Here is Blue Saddle Hen teaching her babies to eat. She has the best intentions, but keeps insisting on teaching the chicks to scratch in the shavings for food that she takes from her "adult" feeder. They definitely listen to her "good food" sounds! The chick food gets ignored (or buried in the corner from all the scratching). Ah, well- they'll get to go outside soon and can really use their scratching skills there!



Superhen has figured out the feeder idea, and is doing well in showing them the ropes there, too...


Awwww!

This is where I would give my eyeteeth for DSL.:)
The chick pictures are adorable! (at least I can see those!)

Hello again, came back this morning to read the post below this one as well.

I hope you don't mind -- I went ahead and added a link to your blog from mine. From the two posts I've read, I like your content!

I replied to your comment about eggs at my blog as I try to do regularly as a habit, but never know if those will be read -- so decided to tell you about it here! Have a good day and have fun!

Thank you!! What a treat. New, to this whole blogging idea, but the link came thru so i thought i'd take a few minutes to check it out. Loved the chicks! ! ! ! Keep up the good work, i'll be back. You've inspired me, i could do this, with our little farm exp as well. May beds looked the same this spring, not much for mulch or green manure either! But i'm learning, too :)
