One of our only two chickens left (Sproutlet, Presleys chicken) went MIA for a few days and we were worried, we finally discovered her... in a hiding spot, laying on her eggs :) What that means... CHICKS! She is ready to be a mother hen so she has been hoarding her eggs and sitting on them to incubate them until they are ready to hatch. So fascinating that she has been laying eggs for a year now and never had the desire to lay on them, but now she does! Oh the father is one of the roosters next door. We can't move her from her spot or she will stop laying on the eggs, so Zach made it as safe as he could for her and we board her up at night to protect her and her eggs : ) We also have to go and feed her and give her water because she will not get off those eggs! Once they hatch we will move them both to the coop. YAY for chicks! I am so excited our kids get to see the whole process, they have raised chicks before but now they get to see them hatch!
We are loving Spring, and Zach loves sidewalk chalk
