In for the Night


Hannah and I put this hen and her babies in the chicken room, after spending several weeks in a rabbit cage. They are doing just fine mingling with the roosters and other hens. As darkness comes, however, she gathers them up in one of the nest boxes and they spend the night together. If all human mothers were as devoted and attentive as chicken mothers the world would be a better place.
