who thinks there no better sight then a mother hen with chicks?!!?!?!?

OOOhhh you all make me SO envious!! I'm not allowed to have a rooster. I LOVE how the little peeps are all different colors!

Waiting for more...

Here's mama and babies hatched last Tues. Love hatching with a broody!! She does all the work and all the worrying! I've got some blrw chicks inside in a brooder and am constantly worrying about temp, feed and water, cleaning and tending to the occasional pasty butt. Mother nature definitely knows best. Todays highs were in the 50's and she had them outside scratching around almost all day!

Even beak wiping:

And of course the stink eye:

Oh that one photo at the top is cute! It's like they're watching her to find out what they should eat and how to eat it.

 

[desertdarlene]

Oh my, I'm busting from all the cuteness in those photos! I love baby chickies!
