This beautiful PBS video story is a must-see, for everyone, and kids will love it too.
I also have a white Silkie (Shmoo) who is the best mother in the world (All Silkies are). For months she faithfully sat on eggs (which I collected). She sat for an entire summer desperate to be a mommy. I brought home two tiny black baby Silkies and Silkie Shmoo got SOOOOOoooooo excited she scooped them up under her wings (Pic) and was the most proud mommy in the world. She thought they were hers, finally hatched. Their tiny little black heads popping up thru her white feathers from her wing pits.

The pic is Shmoo Silkie and her chick Shadow under her wing (now grown up). Shadow follows me around, like a shadow.
Oh how beautiful, I will certainly pass it on to my grands. Thanks oodles for your photos and story too, Bert.
ReplyDeleteThat was wonderful. It reminded me of all the Disney after dinner specials that would be on Sunday nights when I was a kid. They would always make me think and sometimes make me cry. And Shmoo does indeed look like a proud Mama.
