Whistlin' Dixie!

Well, it's Sunday afternoon, third day in a row I've found an egg, and now the mystery momma hen has been identified. Drum roll, please.....



it's Dixie Chick!


About 5:30 this afternoon I went out to the yard to give them some mealworms and didn't see Dixie. I poked my nose in the near nest box, and while I didn't see an egg  I spotted Dixie in the far nest box. And sure enough, when I opened that one, there she was with her egg. Here's a video of her announcing her accomplishment to the rest of the girls when she came downstairs.

  1. Very cool Chuck! Now you need a good cook book - 1000 things to make with eggs. :)

  3. Sounds like she's clucking Dixie, rather than whistling Dixie!
