The other day, she appeared again. With a surprise. Actually 8 of them. I guess she never really had much of a chance to have a brood before because she was never involved with any roosters. But this year, her life changed. She sat and sat and sat....
.... and out popped the chicks. Eight of them! Saturday afternoon, she was happily squiring them around the farmyard, proud as punch.
A couple days later she is down to five chicks but these guys seem pretty strong. Crazy is teaching them how to scratch and pick and survive. So sweet. Fingers crossed.

One crazy chicken! Cute story.
What a cute story. The chicks look very healthy just like mother hen.
Congratulations to her being a mother at last!
I'm so happy for her! Thanks for making me smile this morning.
I love Mommy stories! Congrats to Crazy!
What a great story. May the remaining chicks survive. I love the second photo! Your chin must have been firmly planted in the scratched up straw/ grass to get that shot! What breed of chicken is Crazy?
AW!!! Those are so cute!
Oh I just love this post. Reminds me of my growing up days in the country.
So cute! What a nice story.
I miss having chickens. We too purchased our chicks from Murray McMurray. They are two-legged garbage disposals. Occasionally one would go broody, which was fun.
Good for Crazy Chicken! With 2 capital C's! Love it.
I want a small chicken coop in our back yard, but the hubby keeps nixing the idea.
love those chicks, so cute!
She is gorgeous! ...I have a thing about chickens. Maybe cuz I grew up in the city with a mom who loved animals -when we outgrew our old playhouse, mom turned it into a chicken coop.
The little ones are adorable. Hope they make it!
We've had a lot of this craziness too-- and from our Cornish as well! Good luck to C.C. and her brood.
