Lovin' The Homestead
ok, so i bought two blue Wyandotte pullets yesterday morning. then i went and picked up the two tufted Roman geese from kcsunshine. and then, right on time, my little Gretel's chicks started hatching!!
it's our first hatch here on the farm! Gretel has been a complete champ, sitting on those eggs like her life depended on it. so far the green egg has hatched (EE mom, looks like Orp dad) and one of Gretel's own gray Silkie eggs! i'm so proud and excited.
and then i remembered i just let two more hens go broody... standard hens sitting on 8 eggs each. i think i might need a little bit of an intervention.
