This Hen Named Caboose Is one of My Last "Babies" we hatched In January Last year.
She has been so very broody.
And well If she is going to just sit and Pinch our other Laying hens eggs,
I figured May as well let her sit.
WE Only gave her four eggs and Two later we discovered were not fertile!
sadley one of two hatched a chick that whilst looked perfect Until you looked at it's tummy!
It had some birth defect...And later died.
But better to have that happen than it to suffer or be deformed and sickly.
Got any ideas for little chicks Name?
And In closing....Only a quick post today,
Look What I found....I know many of you "SHABBY" Gals are gong to go Nuts over this....
Not My Thang...But I know some of you will be "WOOP, WHOOPING OVER IT!"
My Daughter has fallen crazy in love with it,
I was going to do a Giveaway with it BUt Looks LIke a change of plans...
I am struggling to even think of Christmas!
So much to do so little time...AND ENERGY!

That is such a special baby and so cute! The tree is not my thing either but I can see why your daughter loves it, is her room big enough to hold it for the 'silly season' which is steaming ahead very quickly - help!!!

Let's see, if the momma hen's name is Caboose, what about Little Red (even though he's/she's not red, but for Little Red Caboose. Or Little Red Hen.
The tree reminds me of a blue aluminum tree that my aunt had when I was little. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. She had one of those spotlights that had the different colored plastic circular thing that rotated and made the tree look different colors. Oh my, I was mesmerized by that tree.
Congratulations to you and the new mum - we have chickens and one is always broody - what a great result! THat tree has got to be one of a kind... but not for long!!
Well, I think it should be named "the lucky one" for obvious reasons......
Naming chicks is hard! Some of them take a few months to develop a personality. I had a hen setting on almost 30 eggs, and since I didn't mark the originnal ones, she got to do them all. Only eight hatched. I haven't named any of those yet!
Ohhh what a darling baby chick!!! So fluffy and cute! I just want to hold him :) Poor little baby born sick :(
I LOVE the tree Kylie!!!!!! My gosh, for a dollar?? I would have peed my pants, lol!! I dont blame your daughter for loving it at all :) It is like a fairy princess tree!!
Love ya,
Amy
I always loved when our hens would get broody. Its almost like Christmas to go outside and find a new baby there. Maybe you should call it 'Autumn'...
The tree is cute but I'm like you... its just to frilly....
Take Care,
Debbie
Oh Oh Oh a cute little chicken and a blue tuelle tree as well...what lovely things for a post. i adore my chickens though we have never had baby chickens...I might have to take your lead and get some of those fertilised eggs....now for a name...what about 'Smidgen'...don't know why but it sounds cute to me.
a blue tree...I still can't believe it was $1.00.
OK have a lovely day, Kiss Noises Linda
Oh I was going to say Little Red too...perhaps you should go with that it is very cute...kiss noises again Linda
Awwww.... what a sweet chick! How about Peep?
That tree is really cute and I know why you can't give it away. Annie would have loved it when she was little ;)
Christmas is coming YAY!

Aaawww, look at that little chickie!
So cute! I love the Mama hens name.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Best of luck with the lights. That turtle you picked out looks mighty fine.
This is such a precious story. . .hmm, there's a name for you. And Caboose is the best! Thanks for sharing and I'm glad I found you at Donna's place.
Congratulations on your new baby!! How adorable!! So many people in my community are starting to raise their own chickens. I think it's such a great idea. My husband would never go for it but at least we can get fresh eggs from our friends when their hens start laying. How about "Peeps" for the new baby's name?
Where did you find that tree for $1.00?!!? I LOVE it!!! I wouldn't have let you give it away either. Yay for your daughter!! :)

We have two black chooks names Henryetta and Petunia, so for short they're Henny and Panny! lol Other chooks we've had were Mooney, Lily, Rhoda (Road Is Red) Pearl and well countless others that I can't remember having named...
I just love the tree!!! It's not my thing, especially being blue, but I can pictire making it in green tulle! How's about a tutorial?!?! Or at least e-mail me and let me know how to do it. *wink* I'm glad you like your brooches! I make bigger ones to put onto my plain bags too. It really jazzes them up!
Hugs! Manda
Cute ideas for the name. Did you name it?
I just love when Don lets the hens brood and we get to watch the hens mother the chicks. They are incredible mothers.
Oh Kylie, I miss my chookies and it's been a while now!
I did not know they liked and ate yoghurt! Wow! ...and a clever mum, now :D
What a beautiful baby?
Does baby have a name yet??
I was thinking 'Little Red' just like Julia...hee hee
O.K Kylie here it comes....AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Love it! Too stinkin cute! Lori
I agree with MandaPanda...how about a "TOOT" on making the tulle tree.
Sign me up for that one.
Sweet wishes,
Sara
