“We are going to have baby chicks! Stripie is sitting on 14 eggs!” The two youngest girls are so excited to find that Stripie has been brooding a clutch of small speckled eggs. Who knows if they will hatch, but I sure hope that they do. She is missing from the yard most of the time and so we are hopeful that she is keeping her stash warm and alive.
Spring is here and it was a wonderful relaxing Saturday. The kids played outside most of the day and Brenda and I went for a nice walk this evening. I am sure that we will have more snow but today was great.
Hey is Stripie one of the mini chickens?
Just in time for Easter.
You know I love those eggs!
She is one of the mini chickens. Her eggs are about the size of a ping pong ball.
Ahhh bite sized eggs.
If they make it those will be some tiny chicks! How cute.
But wait.. is it a full sized dad? hmmm.
Just thinking. (:
Love the image, by the way.
Ahh..setting hens. Brings back memories of trying to collect eggs on the ranch. NOT my favorite thing to do. Those beady side looking eyes and sharp beaks ready to strike. Ok. I was traumatized, ( a wuss)I admit it.
Hope you get plenty of mini chicks and not one peck or traumatized child.
Super illustration as always!
