New Momma Hen!
Yesterday one of our Cornish hens became a new momma! She has been setting on eggs since March third and I knew that they would be due any day. In the afternoon, I saw one cute, fuzzy little black head poking out from her tail feathers. How exciting! We were both giddy. By the time I did my last round at dusk to lock up the chickens and geese, there was another two. Another black one and this time there was a yellow one with a bit of black marks on his head. He was still damp and there lay two perfectly halved egg shells under the momma hen. Fast forward to this morning, and I found three more little babies. I guess I will be setting up a little private caged in area for the new little family today.
