Looks like a note for the grandparents.Diaper change maybe?
@BY Bob I promise I won't bore the group on your thread with non-chicken stuff but as we have some knowledgeable folk here I am curious what you think is going on here.
First it is clear that there are three live baby wrens.
But look in the second half when he is given something to remove from the nest. What could that be?
It is such a shame about the red squirrels.
That is a problem for another day. 
Yes, we love it here.
WOW! That was exciting. Did she maybe fly over your fence?We've had a Breach!
I've been sitting outside with the ladies for over an hour now. I was reading a book and all was peaceful, until my neighborneighbor starts knocking on the gate and waiving his hand over the fence. I head over and he says, "I think one of your chickens is in the front yard". I'm like that's crazy. That's never happened before.
I was just hand feeding Hattie, Sydney, and Sansa. Who could it be? I heard nothing, saw nothing, some rooster I am.
My heart immediately sank.
If that's Aurora, this could get ugly. I'm not allowed to touch her! I'll never catch her.
Lilly will squat for me. That could be ok.
My gosh I wonder who it is?
It was Phyllis!

She was all the way out in the street by my daughters old car. Only her little head poking up over the curb.
Wait, she was in the street!
I was so glad it was Phyllis for one good reason. Phyllis reliably comes when I call her name.
It turned out to be an impressive exhibition. I stopped about 1/2 way down the side yard and called her. She popped up in the yard and came running. My neighbor could not believe it. He was stunned. He had no idea they were so smart!
She ran over to me and we walked together back through the gate.
Heart attack averted.
Now I need to figure out how she breached the outer wall.
Everyone is safe now. At least as safe as they can be with an inattentive rooster like me.
Of course I never thought to grab my phone to get photos or video.
Thanks! I think they are pretty special.Soooooo pretty!
They said the greys would chase the reds away here too, but so far so good for the reds. In fact, on my feeding tree, the reds are top squirrel. They will chase the greys away, even though they are half their size.
Oh my! I'm glad she is safe now!!!We've had a Breach!

She's a lovely looking hen. She has that same soft look as Moon.Well, it was quite scary having me show up with my iPhone, and I mostly got pictures of Surly Girl's fluffy bottom and no chick. I'd go to snap the shot and poof! they were turned around and no Lucy 2 in sight, but here are a few that show how it went.

"Wait. What's that in your hand? That doesn't look like a treat!"

"Is she still there? Run for cover!"

"Here...let's hide in the berry bushes."
