Lonnie went out to check on PeeWee, our banty hen who has been setting on two eggs, and he found a chick! It's sooooo.........cute! & tiny. Here's a pic. I'll post another when the other egg hatches.

How adorable!! If they would just stay that cute or not grow spurs. I've been flogged enough in my time!! Stupid rooster used to chase us kids.

[Jessiebear 2]

Oh no! I haven't been flogged yet! I hope I never am! I can't wait to see what the other chick looks like.

How adorable! I'm jealous...

I can't get my dumb chickens to sit on their eggs for nothin'.

Megan, I wish I could give you one of my broody wenches! LOL! I have to run them off the nest! I have 4 big chickens that are extremely broody. We weren't trying to have chicks from the banty. When we went to Illinois for my Aunt's funeral, my Dad stayed here to take care of the chickens & dogs. I forgot to tell him to check PeeWee for eggs (PeaNut the banty rooster & her are kept seperate from the big chickens). When we got home, she was setting on 2 eggs.Voila! Chicks! I can't get her to get up so I can see if the other egg is hatched this morning. I'm not brave enough to stick my hand under her. She pecked the fire out of Lonnie last night! I'll see if I can sucker him into it again tonight.

This is the sweetest thing!! How cute!

Why is there a golf ball under her? LOL

[Jessiebear 2]

Well,my G-pa told me to leave golfballs wherever I wanted my hens to lay. They think it's an egg & they sit on it. It works! LOL! She sat on 1 golfball & 2 eggs for 28 days. If the golf ball hatches, we're in trouble!LOL!

[NeenBand 7]

ha! That is so interesting.
