Here is one of my many buffs that has went broody with her chicks coming out for a look. She is only about 9 months old. I have a lot of hens going broody this spring.

They're super cute and she looks like a good momma. I love that first pic the little one peeping out is just adorable.

Wonder why the first thing that a chick does is peck it's mother in the eye ball?

She had about 15 eggs under her so far i see about 8 chicks have hatched. I kinda hope she waits till sunday to get down off the nest im not going to be around the house tommorow, i just dont want the rooster in the pen to hurt them.
