Greetings,If you've been following the events and activities of our elder sisters, we shared their Lenten Nesting. They incubated a few dozen eggs from our Novice's farming family in the hopes of the sounds of a new clutch of chicks peeping on Easter morning.
Well, there is good news and bad news over our hopes for a CHATTERING of chicks for the Easter Octave. The good news is that the sisters were all prepared with a warm enclosure for the chicks first weeks. Our Gardening Sister was also prepared the the clutch to be moved to their newly finished coop near the gardens when the chicks were ready.
The bad news is that only two of the three dozen eggs hatched. The sister in guiding the incubating has years of sharing this experience with students and has some guesses as to why the hatching failed.
Undaunted by the first round and encouraged by the peeps coming from the activity room, Sister has started a new chattering of three dozen eggs due to hatch around the feast of St. Isadore. May St. Isadore, patron saint of farmers, pray for us!
Blessings,
