Congratulations!! It's a......


girl and a boy and a girl and a few more boys and girls. This little hen hatched nine eggs and now has nine babies to tend. They are one day old. She has her wings full watching over them and keeping them all together. It was so cute to see her teaching them to scratch and peck. At night she tucked them all under her and only a couple could be seen peeking out. This is not the best picture. I had to take it from a distance as mama was not happy to have me near her little ones. I enjoy watching all of the animals but chicks are especially cute. I will do my best to get a better picture over the weekend or early next week.
