If there was any leftover frustration I felt from momma hens surprise a few days ago it completely melted away as I was filling my coffee pot this morning. I look out the window and she is sunning herself surrounded by her chicks with 3 perched on her back. She looked so happy and content doing what is really her calling and rearing chicks. Went out a few minutes ago and gave everyone a treat of leftover biscuits from last night and momma made sure the chicks got what they wanted before anyone else was allowed near. I snapped a few pictures but never managed to get all 10 in one shot. They have grown so much in the past few days and besides their legs, all are identical.

What a great momma. I love hens and chicks together. 🥰
 
Alright, enough is enough! I made a great hamburger 🍔 lunch, and wanted to eat it on the patio, but NOOO, I was attacked by seven velociraptors, took my sandwich, my chips and my pride!! Gezzz:barnie:he
Mrs BY Bob thought I would want my father's day dinner outside with the ladies. This is exactly why I said no. 😆
 
Two-fer Tuesday?
Noticing Butters' new back feathers are very light, looking a little bleached. Here she is on the left, with Popcorn. You can sort of see her hackle feathers are filling in but there's still quite a noticeable gap.
