Lo and Behold!
Aren't they beautiful?
I feel like a proud grandma!

Collected Poems written by Charlotte Mason graduate
Bryana Johnson
Now available in paperback and KINDLE
"Bryana Johnson's first collection of poetry establishes her as a Christian poet who communicates the gutsy, bleeding beat of life and death...restoring our confidence that there are poets who labor over the word, and who have something to say that the world needs to hear." - Nathan Harms, Director, Utmost Christian Writers Foundation
"These poems are works of elegance...In a voice both compassionate and compelling, Bryana presents her readers with works that examine what it means to be human and how our very faults and foibles can, in the end, become instruments of grace." - Wendy Galgan, editor of Assisi

Did she really scream?! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThat is funny! Lol! The poor chickens!

She really did scream. We thought a dog was after her. Since then she clucks nicely with pride whenever she lays an egg. They always say the first child is the hardest in childbirth. ;)
ReplyDeleteMomtoCherubs,
We won't let them set until later. Now we just want eggs for eating. When they do set, I'll come to your blog for help. We had chickens when I was a teenager, but we never raised chicks from eggs. I don't know anything about it yet.
They are beautiful! How many do you have in your flock? Currently we only have 2 hens but we have plans for more in the spring. My daughter and I love checking books out from the library to look at all the many kinds of breeds and dream about which ones we'd like to have.
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny how they want to be noticed. Baaach, baaach, baaach, I'm laying an egg. Aren't I unique and wonderful? Baaach, baaach, baaach.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to raise chicks from eggs, get a silkie hen. They are the best mamas.
ReplyDeleteMy stepmother was raised on a farm and told me that if they didn't have a broody hen, they made her go broody. They put a clutch of eggs in a box and put the hen in with them. They let her out once a day to stretch and eat, etc. I never did this since I always had a silkie hen. They will even try to brood rocks.
Our sweet silkie mama raised a great little new flock this year. Sadly she died today.
