she's been sitting for two weeks now
neglecting her own needs
her focus apparent in that far off stare
a gentle peck for any hands that approach
i'm not wanting to count my chicks just yet
but i'm excited about what may be
this time next week

her chicken-sista
{in the background}
has been helping out
these past couple of days
looking forward to meeting the little mongrels! hopefully you will have a good team of mother hens sheltering the little balls of fluff next Thursday. xx
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, I am feeling very maternal after reading this. Happy days with the chicks. x
ReplyDeleteREALLY! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteSend some girls to Tassie : o )
There's really nothing more "spring" than bits of fluff and peeping, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh so cute, Rachel. I can't wait to see some photos of the new little silkies. Lew wants to get some of these when we move onto the block. x
ReplyDeleteThats a mighty fierce stare...
ReplyDeleteoh, I hope the little ones hatch safely. One of my chooks gets broody sometimes and the stare and the pecks are the same. ouch! can't wait to see the babies. Jane x
ReplyDeleteCome on mama... you can do it.
