New life on the farm.....

Meet "mother hen"............. she laid over 16 eggs!.......my son took care (as a surprise for us) of her and her eggs, and sure enough.......new life was born here on the farm.......

3 new lives were born (and to get a picture of them all together, well, is impossible)
and of course, I have to give credit to the "Sire"......
Sir Charles himself....

  6. I love Sir Charles ....I can just see him, strutting round the farm, thinking he owns the place !!....and he does a good job !!
    How lovely that your son nurtured these little chicks into the world.
    I'm really envious of you, as you must have the most delicious fresh eggs. I love eggs and often buy them at the farm and they have wonderful, deep orange yolks....can't compare them in any way to the supermarket ones.
    Enjoy your little chicks and say 'well done' to your son, from me XXXX

  10. You didn't know he was hatching this plan? How sweet!
    Sorry about the "no call" - got it in my head to try sewing again - disaster.

    How about tomorrow?

    OH! Homemaker Ang commented - you two will become good friends I bet!

  12. For me that would be a dream come true!! Such sweet little babies they are....Seems like we just got our garden going and now it is all over for the year....It was in the upper 20s here last night with fresh snow on our local peaks...Brrr!
    Hope you are over your cold soon, Jesse was out the WHOLE week and is still blowing and coughing!
