My two boys love incubating them when we get the chance as we only have laying hens. They don't tend to want to sit on their eggs. Oh well I guess. It would be neat to see the mother/baby bond, but no such luck with ours at this time. Thanks for the great story and all the amazing templates, actions etc.<br /><br />Sheila<br />MissouriSheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338595300048592879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-47657410123246868942010-06-10T13:55:10.377-05:002010-06-10T13:55:10.377-05:00How incredibly precious that is!!

I always thought they had so much personality. My grandparents even "gave" me my own personal chicken ~ a white one. Each year when my family was planning a visit, they made sure there was at least one white chicken in the farm yard for me to look after. I thought I had the oldest chicken ever for the longest time!! :)<br /><br />I still to this day have a thing for chickens. I only wish I lived someplace where I could keep some. Loved this story! :)Debbiehttp://www.whispersfromthewoods.comnoreply@blogger.com
