Glad to see this is not the case.<br />So many people just want eggs and not brood hens. I am hoping to be lucky enough to get both!<br />Thanks for sharing this with us. I love your hen's name, and the brood name, too. ;o)<br /><br />Have a great week!LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-67143434785876566532012-09-16T18:14:45.531-07:002012-09-16T18:14:45.531-07:00Ditto here!

I just want to kiss that little mama Smoky (and no that wouldn't be so strange since our own little backyard hens have received loves and kisses from me and my daughter - we are horrible homesteaders in that way - we get far too attached to our poultry). <br /><br />So heartwarming. And I agree with the idea to publish a picture book. Actually, I can picture a collection of illustrated books with your animal stories in it something along the lines of these: http://www.amazon.com/James-Herriots-Treasury-Children-Creatures/dp/0312085125<br /><br />We had a couple books full of James Herriot illustrated stories about rural animals and their adventures that I LOVED as a child.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185188829314311661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-29485995580607915142012-09-16T10:42:02.233-07:002012-09-16T10:42:02.233-07:00I love this!
