    Just finished setting 7 eggs under my Dark Cornish. This is my first broody hen. She was the reason I ended up with chickens, because she was the cutest and sweetest out of my classroom hatch, and my husband gave in and let me bring her and her "sister" home with me. :) She has been...

    The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

    I had just informed my husband that I would be keeping her and taking care of her because she needed me and what kind of example would it set for our girls if we just got rid of her because she was "different".....
