Great pictures!!!! What camera did you use to take them? What breed is your hen, and what are your babies? They are so cute!!!

The babies are 2 Jersey Giants, 1 Wellsummer, and 2 Cuckoo Marins. The hen is a one year old specked Sussex.

The camera is a Nikon D300 .

D300, is all you need to say!!

No wonder they are so great!! I just got that camera myself a few weeks ago.

What great photos you have! It looks like the chickens have a great yard to roam.

Those are gorgeous, heartwarming pics!

I just loved Speckled Sussex! What a cute batch of mixed chicks she has.

Watching a mama hen and her chick was one of the highlights of my summer last year. I am hoping I have a broody again this year, so I can enjoy it all over again. Have fun! ...like I need to tell you that, LOL...

I gotta get out there and get some new pics today. They've grown so much in the past few days!

The run around the yard with mama hen all day stealing food from each other!
