I opened my nest box lid and was surprised by 3 wellie chicks under my Light Brahma broody. I checked the calendar, and yep, they were supposed to hatch today. She has 5 eggs still left under her, so we'll see how many more she gets.
Sorry for my absence from the Stella thread. We have been going through a rough patch waiting for biopsy results on Michael. Unfortunately we got the news yesterday that he has prostate cancer. Now we are are waiting for a bone scan next week to see of it has spread before deciding on a course of treatment. I just don't have the motivation or desire to engage in my usual activities. I am sure we'll get through this but it is hard right now.
Love to all.
Mary
