October 8: Mother Hen

Gavstar could hear little cheep cheeps coming from the chook pen so went to investigate. He found one of the hens on her nest and came to get me - "we've got new baby chicks!" he said.

He kindly lifted the mother hen up for me to see the new arrivals only to find that they were in the MIDDLE OF BEING BIRTHED.

Today I am thankful my husband knows how to laugh when I threaten him with divorce if he handles ME like that during my birthing process in a few months! ;-)
