Making babies




No, not me! I know that we are married now, and that I am 26 so in the making babies-demographic, but sorry: we're not ready yet. However, two of my chickens are working on making babies: Kuifje and Ellen. They had both been broody for a few days already, and I had tested how determined they were by letting them brood on one of their own eggs. But since we don't have a rooster anymore, that would never work out. M's uncle donated some eggs from a chicken who does have a husband, and now they're both hard-working brooding chicks. In about three weeks we'll hopefully have ten little ones in the hen house!

Leuk, kleine kuikentjes! 26 zou trouwens jong zijn voor een Nederlandse vrouw om een eertse kind te krijgen. De gemiddelde leeftijd voor vrouwen in Nederland is 29,9 jaar! Daarmee zijn we geloof ik wel de hekkensluiters in de wereld.

Cool! I'll be excited to see how it turns out!

Baby chickens are lovely. So cute and fluffy and yellow.

@She 29.9? Ha snuk in under that. Mind you I was not in NL, so does that count?

Niet verder vertellen, maar eigenlijk lijkt het mij ook wel leuk om kippen te hebben - behalve de herrie, stank, het schoonmaken en andere overlast natuurlijk...

Ah, kuikentjes zijn zo schattig! Hopelijk komen de eieren uit!

Haha. En nu ben ik 29 en getrouwd, maar nog totaal niet ready voor kids. Wat dat betreft verschillen wij ontzettend!!! :-)
