Chicken Nesting

One day I stopped to watch one of my hens gather up a clutch of eggs to sit on.  It was interesting to watch as she methodically pulled each egg under her body using her feet and beak. Quiet determination at its best. I was so glad I had my camera with me.  This is one of our Silver Laced Wyandotte hens.

    Awww how cute! She is a beauty. We had a golden laced wyandotte and she was gorgeous, too. But I do love the silver!

    Thanks for stopping over Tammy. I will look for your page but it sounds familiar. I may already have found you! Love the Backyard Farming Connection. I was thinking about getting some other Wyandottes, like the golden or the blue
