Just Cuteness!

Mama Hen seems to be such a good Mother!  AJ came over today to visit them and we got both chicks out to hold for a second. They are just too cute not to pick up at least twice a day. We had them for just a second before MH bit me on the finger. It didn't hurt and she didn't bite down. She merely reached out and held my finger in her beak for just a moment; a warning that time was up. So we handed them back to her. They are growing so fast and they have gotten so fast that they are already hard to catch in the brooder. It won't be long before she has them out in the yard.

The brooder/nursery is a little dark so the lighting isn't the greatest. You can hear her growling a bit and checking out the camera (phone).   I fed her peanuts and she gave them to the chicks.

They are getting a little rambunctious. The water was over turned so while they ate the peanuts I re-filled that. So, they ate peanuts (they also have plenty of medicated starter feed and they eat that at will), got their bellies' full and when I came back with fresh water they drank for a long time and moved back under Mama Hen.
