Too cute! And look, both have a leg up

Terri, a 2 year old Buff Orpington, takes her chicks out of the nest for the first time. She's teaching them how to find food that she dropped. She's a great mama. Her comb was ripped off by an overzealous rooster when she was a pullet, so she just has a little blade comb.

Entry 2: Terri and her chicks on their first trip out of the run. Relaxing by the wood stumps.

Entry 3: Terri amd her chicks hanging out in the yard. Tons more, but I'm saving my last entry for my rooster. He's been watching after the chicks as well.

She looks like a great momma.

Pretty. What breed is she?

She looks like a great momma.

She's doing great. It's the first time we had a broody hatch eggs. We've always used the incubator. It's been a cool experience to watch.

Congratulations. I, too, enjoy watching them raise chicks.
