I was surprised to see more chicks the other day. Apparently one of our Leghorns (notoriously non-broody) decided to hatch a nest. One day, she was walking around with 4 chicks and the next day, there were 3 more for a total of 7 little leghorn chicks! They are darling, but I am surprised to see them at all!
Also, we realized that our duck has been laying eggs. I noticed a particularly 'dirty' looking egg a week or so ago, and mentioned to DH how thick the shell was on those off white eggs. After eating them for a week, and doing a bit of research, we came to the conclusion that those are the duck eggs. How neat! I want to save them up for baking; I read they are wonderful for that!
