A SMALL MIRACLE AMONG CHAOS
The proud daddy, "Elvis"
One Eye and her broodI have had several weeks of sadness, worrying what happened to my favourite hen, "One Eye". I had thought that Foxy Loxy had taken her as his lunch. Today my sons and I were removing plants from the gardens, weeding and clearing up. I asked Number 1 son to go and slash near the compost, imagine my surprise when he called me and said, "We have several problems here." I walked out there with slumped shoulders and a dejected heart, only to be greeted by a very protective One Eye and her 15 fluffy chickens. Turns out she had been laying eggs by the half finished woodshed and sat on them to hatch. A small miracle to brighten my day. So, for this I give thanks to the universe. One Eye and her babies are safely tucked in a box until we can put them in the makeshift pen we constructed today out of two bird cages. Must apologise to our sweet cat "Snake", those cages formed his travel cage, which means no holidays for him for the moment. How sweet is life?
