Chicky Babies


This aged Olde English Bantam hen hatched nine teeny-tiny chicks the other day. She is a phenomenal mother who prefers to keep her brood on the concrete floor of the barn, close to the lambing pen where she hatched her babies. The world would be a better place if all mothers were as devoted and protective as this little hen.

I wish we all could be like her.
