Chicks!!

Two so far and still sitting on two eggs

Well, we have two baby chicks. So far, so good. And so cute!  And glad to have them here for Andrew's weekend.  Mama hen continues to sit on two eggs and double-tasks keeping the two babies from getting too active and falling from the nest. I took her a handful of peanuts, her favorite treat. She practically inhaled most of them then held one in her mouth, hiked her butt in the air and softly clucked to her babies. They came stumbling out from under her in their fuzzy newness and one latched onto her waddles and wouldn't let go. She shook her head and the little one held on tight, swinging. She shook again and the little one went tumbling over her back. She went back to her task of chewing up the peanut for them to eat...
