Episode 2: Lyndy's Chook Gossip

"Lacey, the mother hen, is now doing very nicely with her 8 new chicks. They are gorgeous and one of them is a little Barnevelder, smaller than the rest, probably because she came from a smaller egg we think. Like any babies they are great time wasters - you can stand and watch them for way too long. The grey pullet is still sitting and due on 22 November and Rusty the Silky has laid 11 eggs and should be thinking about sitting on them soon. I could be very busy."
Our neighbours Lyndy and Dave live on a certified organic farm and supply hilbarn's fresh organic eggs. We hope the chicks will pose for photos next Monday!
