My second entry, taken this morning. These 2 hens and their rooster are actually taking care of 7 chicks together, but only one was out from under them.

NOT and entry, just an additional one of the full family above. Not as good a pic. Lol

Mamahen has been sitting on fake eggs for months. When I decided to put my 30+ hatchery chicks & poults out into the grow-out coop, I put her in with them to see what she’d do. After a few moments of confusion and shock, she began gathering the littlest ones to herself. She’s a very good mommy... “teaching” them how to eat crumble, protecting them from bullying by the bigger chicks (there are some in with them that are a couple weeks older) and keeping them all snuggled up to herself in the cold. (And yes it has been cold. And wet... It’s lucky they’re up on stilts!)
