Thank you. I could watch that all day. I love how chicks just bump into each other sometimes.

They are adorable aren't they? I love hearing their baby chirps.

Let's Go to the Video

Is this hen broody?

I don't know Bob. She's pecking but not being an angry pancake (yet).
I like @RebeccaBoyd 's suggestion with the fake eggs.

Rocks-Ann has a problem tonight
(She does, then I do) stuck egg I’m thinking. I will advise byc later. Need to give her a warm Epsom salts bath and try to help with her discomfort .

Personal lubricant squirted in with a small syringe helped Deana when she had this problem.
I hope the bath helps.

Poor Buttercup. I’ve never shared this, nut her nickname is Fat A$$. What a terrible chicken mom I am! She just walked by and I said , “Hello, Fat A$$!” and thought I might share. Isn’t that just awful?

Hahaha, I have Belly Boo and Fatty Foo (Snow)

So for those wondering how I managed to go the entire day without treating the boys it was simple. 1- I am out of Raisins much to all the chickens disgust. 2- Starting mid-afternoon or treat time a thunderstorm hit and it didn't stop raining until dark. 3- I've been inside all day hovering around the incubator making sure all the chicks have no trouble hatching. I've also already got them eating and drinking. 4- Butter was having none of this grounded no treat business and came to the front door and complained, loudly. She was let in for a hour of air conditioning and her own hotdog bun hand fed to her and rewarded me with a egg before she went back out. Finally when it was time to round everyone up for the night Momma hen, Holly and their chicks were giving their own already tore up hotdog buns as a bedtime snack. The rest of the flock were already on the roost and unaware this was going on. Tomorrow I will not be the Grinch and hand out treats again.

Oh dear, so naughty.

Well, at least he came quietly.

I also don't believe that they will be without treats tonight...

Well done Rebecca.
Now I must eat my words. And they don't taste as nice as raisins or hotdog buns.

So, I learned two things today:
1) My neighbor must think I own an animal sanctuary, because she brought a lost chick to my front yard this afternoon
2) Kiko prefers to be an only child and is NOT a fan of the new house guest. Kiko is not a happy camper right now.

Bob. I was having technical difficulties (ie. user error, I didn't know the video was on) with my phone and thought you might appreciate this accidental video.

Much cuter than accidental recordings of my phone be tossed around in a bag and the awful angle of surprised face when I realize what's happening and the exclamatory words during fumble of trying to turn the darn thing off.
