We gardeners have certainly heard of 'companion planting'---but---seems as if these moderen chix. are into 'companion setting!' In the days of yesteryear when a hen was setting on her eggs, NOONE, person or feathered friends could get anywhere near her, cause she had important things to do like hatching out her eggs and you DID NOT INTERFERE!!! Well----these new MODERN hens prefer to have a companion during their setting time. We have tried to discourage it, but they always seem to work it out and we have chose to let the hens do what they want to do! Am sure they know what they are doing and it always works out after the hatch, they even share baby chix! Always amazing!!! Anyway, White Silkie Girl and Partridge Silkie Girl have decided to 'Companion Set'. Guess if they had cell phones they could keep in touch that way!!! THEY should be hatching shortly, last count was 7 eggs under them! Am anxiously waiting for those little 'peeping' sounds!!! Gma has a very sore back today----over did it when hacking back the lavender plants that should have been hacked back last fall. (muscles would have been better condition back them)! OUCH! I am going to do what I have to do, then grab a heating pad and sit back and watch the Masters. Maybe I will grab Gpa and we will do some 'Companion Setting' while watching the Masters!!! Come on Freddy Couples!!!
