While he takes his breeding duties very seriously, Frodo is also protective and nurturing of his hens.

One hen disappeared and we assumed that the fox had got her. Suddenly one day she turned up in the yard with three chicks. When David found her nest there were 17 eggs in it, so many that she had been totally unable to keep them all warm.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-8103260991284502092012-07-23T19:13:09.719+01:002012-07-23T19:13:09.719+01:00I love when you post about your chickens.

Why blue?<br />Of course if you don't keep a rooster, the eggs are infertile, but I'd love to see little yellow chicks running about. Sigh.<br />Amazing that you can tell, by looking at the eggs, who lay them. I didn't realize each hen will lay her own kind of egg each time.<br />KKay L.
