We have a guinea hen setting a huge nest of eggs. It's the third nest, something ate the eggs from the other two. Yesterday the lambs got too close for comfort, she was raising the roof and so was the male. Our Great Pyrenees, Trip ran up to protect her. Good boy!

Love to watch a hen & her chicks. They teach them everything!
They talk to them constantly & those tiny chicks are amazingly fast & smart. The learn to scratch & forage day ONE.

My son has a couple Mallard ducks and the hen was setting a nest. Their pen is here on the farm. Last night, at dusk, I was walking back to the house from back fields...heard a lot of duck talk. Went to check and there were about 15 ducklings with the hen. :love:D He & girlfriend didn't know they had hatched as they saw none this morning when they fed....had to have been still in nest. Talk about cute! So many, moving so fast...:lol:

As my hubby says... "Everybody has a story to tell." In one way or an other, we all are faced with some sort of personal, physical, mental, or spiritual challenge. And those challenges can at times seem to be overwhelming. So, I offer you encouragement, and if you need to talk on a more personal level, you can send a PM.
