Postcards of children, chickens and eggs weren’t just for Easter. In the days before the telephone, a quick message would be conveyed on a postcard. Millions of cards were printed and mailed. But, some, like this sweetly sentimental one, were never sent. I imagine that it was tucked onto a shelf in the kitchen and glanced at occasionally, making the owner of it smile.

Love chickens? Love vintage? Combine the two and that’s what you’ll find here. You might also find quirky, crafty, retro and recipes. And maybe something fun with a rabbit on it. Or a goat. It’s that sort of blog.

Well, here we have one friend who seems a bit “HENpecked”(shy). No worries, a friend knows “EGG-actly” how to “ap-POACH” the situation.
Sorry, Terry, I just could not resist. And I might add that I have to come to know of your site a few years now and love viewing HenCam and learning what it takes to care for them. You are good at what you do. Take care.
Egg puns are always welcome! More anyone?
Sorry, no puns. Oh how cute this is. The chicken and the egg and two adorable kids.
No more eggs-cuses! The yolks on you!
EGG-cellent!
When will these horrid puns be ova?
Am enjoying all of this humor. Linda, perfect!
“hey,I was here first!”…eggs-actly!….who said that?
I’m getting anxious….my girls are 17 weeks….I’m envious of all the comments about eggs……we were at your class in June and I think you told me 18-22 weeks….I love to give treats like grapes and cantaloupe but I was wondering if sunflower seeds with the shell are bad for them, I think I read somewhere it was good for their feathers…
