the waiting game

this young chicken has been broody for ages, so I ordered some fertile eggs off eBay and put them under her. I am not feeling particularly optimistic about the outcome, but they are due on Thursday if the do actually hatch......... watch this space.

It will be so lovely for her if they do hatch.

She's a sweetheart. I think my broody hen is too old to go broody again otherwise I'd let her have a go.

Love the detail on the hen--so nice to see her on her nest and not being factory farmed. Hope some eggs do hatch for her sake.
