'morning chickadees.......sure hope your computer hasn't blown up due to the shock of a post from the home of lzilulu!!
things have been fairly quiet here....still all the usual day to day happenings of an aussie household with some hiccups along the way but that is life.....
the most exciting event over the last two weeks has to be the arrival of these......
......yes, they are cute and the most incredible time wasters......i could, and do, sit for hours watching their little antics and observing the wonderful mothering skills of the surrogate mother.
floss was our little plymouth rock bantam....an only chook....as seems to be the norm here in lzilululand......she was "sitting" for a couple of days with no eggs under her, so i sent an sos to a friend who has a rooster and harem of those "stuck up curly frizzly bantams" and she quickly brought over four eggs and floss sat....and sat....and sat..... until all four eggs hatched...a day early even!!......they all have their own little personalities and VERY quickly established their own pecking order!!........the other grandma and i have "feather sexed" them and we have either four hens or four roosters *gulp*
this morning was a little cool and when i went to have my morning "fix" they were all still snuggled in their bed......couldn't miss the photo opportunity....
...can you see baby no 4 poking through floss's wing?...
......they all became a little more curious...
......what better easter gift could we wish for???....well, maybe some chocolate will appear on sunday.....
happy easter to all

Hi there, I was just looking on my sisters blog and saw yours. I too have chooks, I haven't hatched out chicks for a few years now but as you say could watch them all day! they are so cute! I started with araucana , known as easter chickens they lay light blue eggs! pretty colour too.
