Thanks for the information! I love learning new things. :o) <br /><br />I should have taken her eggs and made her wait a little longer, so hatching eggs wouldn't be happening in cold weather, but I was afraid she wouldn't want to sit on them later, so I let nature take its' course. She has been a good mama so far, her chicks are almost always beneath her when I check on them. <br /><br />Everyone should get the chance in life to hold a baby chick, they DO represent new beginnings! :o)Blessings to you and yours!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-14805770862327055592011-03-08T16:46:35.070-05:002011-03-08T16:46:35.070-05:00With Ostara just around the corner on March 21st (...With Ostara just around the corner on March 21st (first day of Spring), the hatching of these little chicks seems just appropriate. Ostara is named for the goddess Eostre (from which we get the word Easter) - the goddess of fertility and new life. Her symbol is the egg.<br /><br />Blessings to the little chicks, and may they bring new beginnings to you and yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
