Busy spring!

Boy, it's been awhile since I've written anything on here!  I'm having a busy spring here with my chickens and hardly spend any time in front of the computer! :-)  My new project for this spring is using hens to incubate chicks since I don't have an incubator.  I could buy one I suppose, but I was reading about how nice it is when the hen does all the work of keeping them warm and how nice a job she also does keeping them alive and teaching them all to be chickens after they are hatched.  I figured I'd give it a try and let some chicken moms do all the work instead of me!  I have one sitting Buff Orpington and hopefully when hers hatch in about 18-19 days (it takes 21 days total) I will put her in the peachick run to keep her and them safe from predators.  That's my plan anyway...we'll see how it works... :-)
