One Lonely Chick

After many tries Prissy has one little chick! Several weeks ago 3 days before she was ready to hatch her brood all 11 of her eggs disappeared over night! she was a mess. Attacking other hens squacking. It was aweful. So we put some more eggs in her nest. Then Phillip caught Honey eat an egg... whole... you couldn't tell there was ever an egg there. He put out of the hen house and before his back was turned she was at it again! A few days later Granny was attacking Honey..... So! We have a problem..

And we moved Prissy and her new batch of eggs. She ended up with one little chick this year instead of 1/2 dozen like last year. But with all the drama I'm glad she finally got something. even if it did take a couple months longer than normal :D
