A November week on the farm in photos!

Fall is my favorite time of the year and so many beautiful moments at the farm this week!

Here is our big Tom turkey showing his stuff!

Momma hen on an outing with her quickly growing chick.  Notice how attentive the chick is to mom's instructions!

A big morning crow from the Big Red Rooster!

Muddy piglets!  We had quite a bit of rain this week!  The piglets don't mind and their house is warm, dry and filled with straw.

Narragansett turkey hens out for a stroll.

Our house cat, Seneca, posing.

One of our geese.  His head is titled a little as he turns one eye towards the sky to watch a hawk.

Showing the two chicks I'm in charge of the great outdoors.  Scary view of me.  lol.

Peek a boo!

Peek a boo!  We see you!

Momma hen doesn't like me to look in on her.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch!

I enjoyed seeing a momma hen raise her chick so much that the next hen who wanted to sit on eggs, I've let sit.  She isn't letting me get close to her.

There are really three hens sharing sitting duties on this nest and I hadn't been able to get a look at how many eggs there might be.  And momma hens are viscous.  Finally, all three cleared out for a moment and I got a look.

YIKES!  This could result in many chicks!  But you know what!?  It's true- you should never count your chickens before they hatch.  Not all of these eggs will hatch for a variety of reasons.  Some eggs just don't mature into chicks and sometimes the egg was never fertilized.  It takes 21 days from the time a momma hen starts sitting on her eggs until they hatch.  We'll see soon who shows up!
