Like mother like daughter..
REGULARS of this blog will remember Josephine, a beautiful black Scots Dumpy who was bought in Northampton in 2012 with cockerel Napoleon. The two were devoted to each other, as much as hens can be, until a fox snatched her.
However, before she was taken Josephine had become broody and raised six chicks without the assistance of an incubator or heaters. She was a wonderful mum.
I'm happy to say her legacy looks set to live on as one of those chicks has now matured into a beautiful hen just like her mum and she is sitting on no less than 12 eggs at the moment.
Hatching should begin in around five days time - so watch this space.
