bgurk !!!


well we are now chook breeders
eight little balls of fluff have emerged from beneath
Xena Warrior Chicken

is she  a good mother
oh yes !
is she protective 
OH YES !
(I have the scratches to prove it)


now lets hope they turn out more hens then roosters
I see we will have to harden ourselves
to the coq au vin school of chicken care

  5. Well done Xena........

    Aren't they just sooooo cute. Love hatching chicks, it's so much fun, but yes, mum is very protective.

    Once my Dorothy (Dorking mum) had done her job, she cut the apron strings just like that and they were on their own. Very interesting seeing the whole process.

    Like Hazel I wish one of my girls was clucky..........

    Fingers crossed for lots of hens Lee and the header pic is lovely by the way.......
