This blog is a journal of the simple living on a small 2 and a half acre farm. The ups and downs. The good and the not so good. Adventures of Hidden Haven animals and some of my own. The sharing of our frugal, hardworking, attempt to be as self sufficient as possible. Please stop by often as we love company!

Fall Babies
Henny Penny has a habit of getting out of her pen after breakfast. She spends the day roaming around the farm and meeting me back at the gate to the pen to be let in for supper. I noticed she stopped meeting me and figured she had decided to stay out with the hens that rather roam around the farm then be in the chicken pens. Well yesterday she greeted me with 9 baby chicks following along behind her. Seems she had been secretly laying and sitting on eggs. Now she and babies are happy to be safely in a pen just for them.
Dotty's baby piglets are fat and fun to watch. That is when they aren't napping. They love to stir up dust running in circles chasing each other.

Hi Peggy,
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE to see a mama hen and her baby chicks! Fuzzy little angels. Thank you for brightening my day with that picture.
Awwwwh, so cute, don't you just love babies? Thanks for sharing and glad Henny Penny and her crew made it back to saftey. :)
What sweet babies - I love these pictures Peggy.
Love reading about your animals. Lucky You!
Both sets are beautiful. Helen
Those piglets are so darn cute and I can imagine how much fun it must be to watch them. Mom loves telling me the story of her and a baby piglet (the runt) that she raised when she was a little girl, he was quite the pet:-) Henny Penny sure did surprise you with her brood! hehe xoxo
