There has been a very busy bird around here... "flying" a bit under the blog radar lately. WF has been accomodating her with his good chicken-tending skills and expectations. So today... with careful listening... the first peeps were heard!
And seen! She's sitting on 9 eggs, all of which should be viable. Likely two hatched so far. Just in time for a visit from the Boston-area nieces tomorrow! She's been the only really broody hen so far this year, and likely the only brood we'll get.
Very fun...the circle of life continues...

Oh boy, nothing more fun than baby chicks - hope they are all hatched out and doin' fine by now. Happy 4th! T.
well! congratulations!!
a broody hen is worth her weight in gold! (but, you know that... I'm sure you are pampering her...right?)
