SATURDAY CRITTERS - Malawi

Just before I arrived in Malawi, my daughter had purchased 6 laying chickens and Annika my granddaughter really loves them.  I have named one Annabelle and although they all look very similar, she has more white on her wing than the others.  Also, they got 3 cockerels and they also have another hen called Star who when I arrived was sitting on 12 eggs but on the day before I left 2 hatched but one died. I am linking to Saturday Critters.




This is Annabelle above but can you pick her out from all the other hens below?



Star is sitting on her eggs in Nelson, the gardener’s house.  
Can you see how small the chick just born is and Nelson let Annika hold it for a few minutes before he put it back after Star.






Many thanks for visiting and also for leaving comments.

    I think I WOULD be able to tell her from the other chickens! They got redhead chickens just like Annika!

    Hi Margaret, just look at that beautiful black mama hen. I loved my chickens in Mwadui and also named them all. Have a great weekend. Jo (PS thanks I am enjoying the Art Shop. But enjoyed an outing to the Parkrun venue yesterday.)

    The pictures of the chickens and your granddaughter holding the new born chick reminds me of my childhood days. I used to play with the chicks and chickens in our farm.

    Your granddaughter has grown. Cute critters. It has been ages since I last visited. Hope to change that to more frequent visits.
