Adorable. I'll contribute, too.

Banty is such a good mommy. Baby is already bigger than her yet she insists on sitting on him to keep him warm. She puts her wing around him, too.

Too bad he can't give her swimming lessons, so they can go out together

The first few times baby went swimming Banty almost had a seizure. She's calmed down to it now. I suspect she's starting to realize her baby is adopted.

I hope baby isn't disappointed in his mama because she can't swim. She loves him and that's all that should matter. Even if his beak is odd shaped

I made her hatch ducklings last year, too. I wonder if this year she looked at her baby and thought "Crap. It happened this year, too. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?"

I may let her hatch something with a beak next year. Maybe guineas.

I found a nasty tick on me last night and have a nice welt from it today. I'm seriously contemplating guineas, now. Because I need more birds.

The poor thing is have an identity crisis!!

TIcks-- we have them all winter long now that our winters are milder. I wonder if any sharp eyed predator is also a good tick controller. My hens don't miss anything.
