Emma's Sister Hen

If you have been reading here very long, you know that early this spring one of our hens became broody (go to the right sidebar and click 'broody hen' to read more). This was our first one and we were thrilled. She ended up with three surviving chicks- all are doing well, still in the chicken tractor and will soon be transitioned to join the rest of the flock.


Here is Emma and her pullets/cockerels (we haven't bothered to figure out what they are yet).


And, here is one of Emma's sister hens (I prefer not to use 'sister wives', even though that's what they really are). Yep, we have another broody hen and once again, we are very excited.

Please excuse her poop. When you gotta go, you gotta go.

When Emma was setting, I was jealous that her chicks would come before my baby would. Not this time- I think I'm going to win this one.

My belly and knees (just in case you've never seen anything so large).

We need a name for this momma- the hen, not me. Any suggestions?? Pin It
