My sister-in-law and I did.... at the Mudgee field days on Saturday.
We are very egg cited about our purchase and have left them in the hands of an eggxpert who is going to incubate them (surrogate mother hen) for us...... (Maybe Trish would like to look after them!)
Hopefully we will have a family of little chicks soon.
(I don't think 'the boy' is going to rush in and build a chicken tractor yet!)
These very special little eggs were treated like gold on the way home, even wrapped in baby bibs I was putting some applique on.
The babies are supposed to be, 'silver-laced wyandotte' when they hatch.
(I hope this doesn't make Chooky clucky!)

ReplyDeleteHello FFS. That B&W wyandotte is great pattern inspiration for a quilt... clamshells galore!
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous chook, can't wait to see your babies....
ReplyDeleteOhh cute chookies, fingers crossed they hatch!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun it will be to follow your eggs' progress. So, in this case the egg comes before the chicken. Mick says to make sure they don't get them mixed up with eggs in the kitchen...you can't get feathers out of an omlette.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun!!Can't wait to see the chicks...the hen is so pretty!! I stopped by on Chooky's advice...so glad to see you in blogland!! Have a great afternoon!!
