Hens

So apparently we have 2 new arrivals 😊.  The eggs have hatched and 2 fluffy yellow chicks are being cared for by mother hen, a happy ending you would think but no…  there is a flip side to this story.  The hen who was sitting at the same time turned cannibal!  We can only assume she pecked her eggs and ate the entire batch, egg shell and all.  The only action, other than having chicken for dinner, was to clip has beak to prevent her, or any of the other hens following her very bad example of motherhood.

We had more rain this afternoon which is very welcome.  I am going into town tomorrow to accompany one of the ladies and staff to a clinic appointment.  I will take the opportunity to visit the supermarket again and stock up on the ingredients the ladies need to master bread baking and a few other baking ingredients I would like the ladies to experience making.
