I've had a broody chook sitting on 18 eggs - and look what we found yesterday..
 |
| The black texta marks were to keep track of the eggs - the mama chook was pushed out the way every day by a couple of the older chooks who insisted on laying their eggs in this box - any in the box without a mark were safe to collect |
This is the first - and I've just looked in the box and now there's 3. I can also see another egg with a little hole in it, so now doubt we'll have no. 4 soon. This is my favourite thing for this week - the Circle of Life - don't you just love it?
They're just adorable - but it's awfully hot outside (32c or 90F) and they keep hiding behind their mum - I'll try to get another photo with a few more in the frame when it cools down later.
OOOWWWW!!! they are just to cute!!!! :):) I love all babies...they are so sweet :):) My daughter would go crazy if we had baby chicks :):)

ReplyDeleteUm..., I think you forgot to change your link out on Favorite Things Friday linky. It took me to last week's post (which is great because I noticed I'd failed to comment ~ my apologies).
Ah! Nevermind, I see you've corrected it. Yeah, I had to do that before too. :-)

How sweet! Nothing like baby animals to give you a great big smile.
