That's funny

"I used to fit under here, momma must be getting smaller!!"

She is such a titty baby, and ya gotta give Felicity credit, she tolerates every bit of her baby's clinginess I can't wait to see the side show when Felicity starts laying again

My wife does too, but time is never on her side.

Momma with babies are the best. It makes all the chaos worth it.

I've seen a pullet sitting in the nestbox beside her mother, when the hen needed to lay an egg. I separated them before the mother went broody again, so I don't know what would have happened then. I've also seen plenty of pullets that went off and did their own thing when mother went into the nestbox to lay an egg.

("Mother" meaning the hen that raised the chick, usually not the biological mother.)

I've never had a "chick" stay with their mom like velcro for this long, so it's a new experience for me, but an amusing one, lol. I'll let ya'll know how it progresses. The chick is a blue sexlink, so she should be laying by the end of August-ish. She sometimes hangs out with the 15-week-old Ameraucanas, but not for very long.
