Pilgrim's Farm has 7 laying hens...
but, right now, we get 3 eggs a day
because, you see...
one hen is sitting/brooding...
and 3 are in the process of bringing up chickies
Dottie, here, has one new baby
(and she looks rather proud of it, too)
(and she looks rather proud of it, too)
and as a first time mama...
she wants everyone to stay away from her little puffball...
including all other chickens
Roja, our mixed Rhode Island Red and Wyandotte Bantam...
is also a first time mama but...
she is a little more relaxed about the whole process
Puffball to mama: "Mama, what is that lady doing with the thing in her hand?"
Mama: "Oh, she's just taking our pictures."
"Just ignore her. This is what she does all the time. You'll get used to it."
Puffball: "Really?"
Puffball: "Hey, you wanna take my picture? Do I look cute?"
Mama to Puffball: "Come on, little one. No need to show off."
and then, we have Kittie...
a second time mama who's done a good job so far
I believe she is bringing up a hen for me
more eggs, please
Puffball to mama: "Mama, what is she talking about?"
Mama: "Well, it's like this...God in His great wisdom of creation..."
Puffball: "Oh."
Mama: "Come on, little Puffball, you have a long ways to go before those egg-laying days."
Puffball: "I still don't understand."
Mama: "You will, little Puffball, you will."
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:1
May your day or night be blessed in God's grace.
