Dixie Chicks

Evening All. I will never cease to be amazed with chicken behaviors....tonight the new mom and her two chicks "went to roost" in the big coop like they'd done it forever....interestingly, "mama hen" when up the ladder in her usual place in the pecking order...about in the middle of the flock..with the little ones fluttering in behind her. I have not looked to see if there was "back out of the coop" behavior tonight. This great brood hen wants to teach her chicks to free range...and I am amazed at her patience and skills and what she is cleverly teaching those to chicks. I really, really hope they make it to become part of the flock....one is a purebred "Americauna" and the other, a black possibly barred, chick,...is a barnyard mix.
 
Wanted to bake cookies today but my lazy chickens didn't supply the 2 eggs the recipe required, only 1.. Instead I used 5 quail eggs for the second chicken egg. 6/6 eggs from the quail girls today.
The cookies turned out just as good :)
