We are very blessed to live on a farm. We love old fashioned ways of doing things that seem to be fading away. We realize that this lifestyle is not for everyone but we are very grateful that God allows us to enjoy it.

Mama Hens
This hen was one that ran around my yard with 2 other hens and a rooster. This particular hen disappeared and we thought something got her. The other two kept digging up my flower gardens, so I got rid of them as well as the rooster. Well, low and behold this lady showed back up with 8 peeps in tow. If you look close there is one you can see just under the front of her and just over her back and one behind her. She is VERY protective. If you get anywhere near her, she really comes after you.

we have never ever had a hen that will set on a nest.
Wow! I reckon you are suppose to have some chickens!! I love mine!
I know this is an old post, but what a treat to have your hen come back with the chicks. What ended up happening with that? Where there any roosters? Do you have any of them still?
Danielle, we gave all the babies to our neighbors. The hen still runs around here.
