We lost our first batch of baby chicks this year. Farmer Boy didn't want to bread at all after that. However, the spring came, and we ended up with a box of early babies in our living room. I can't tell you how many hours we wasted watching those babies sleep, eat, and play. After ALL eggs hatched, the first 4 babies went back to mama. There are 6 of them. They are about 2-3 weeks now. I went to the coop to document their growth. The mama didn't like it. The harder I tried to take a picture, the more she shielded her babies and moved around. Those who ever tried to take a picture of a constantly moving bird know that patience and a good camera are essential. I didn't have either. So here is a fuzzy picture of the angry mama and one curious chick sticking out of her butt.
