Broody Stella

Today's "Scratch" is a quick drawing of "Stella," one of our faithful Silkie hens (who, btw, as of this morning, is a new mommy!) Here she is, "broody," sitting on yet another of her eggs.

I was taking video of our Delaware rooster, "Mr. Peeps," when it was rudely interrupted by our badling of Indian Runner Ducks... with comical consequences!
