I never noticed that before, they do have similar coloring. It really is a kick to see the mothering instinct kick in between a dog and chicken.
Thanks for sharing.
Marigold, my little Delaware, was sitting on my knee. She then hopped on my dog Sitka's back. I couldn't believe Sitka stayed there patiently while the little chick perched on her back.
This is a picture of two of our Trader Joe chicks. My two grandkids took Trader Joe fertile eggs and placed them under Sugar, our Buff Orpington. The eggs took 28 days to hatch, one week longer. Of the 12 eggs placed under Sugar, 7 hatched!
These are two of our Trader Joe fertile egg chicks that our Buff Orpinton, Sugar hatched. Our two oldest grandkids, ages 7 and 9, introduced the eggs to Sugar's nest. It was a fun project for everyone.
