Mother Hen

This Banty hen has 12 little chicks to worry about. She started out with 14, but only 12 remain. Who knows what happened to them. I have a feeling they became chicken nuggets for the hungry cats. The chicks squeeze out the cracks of the Little Lamb Fine Dineing creep feeder, out of Mom's protective reach. I come home from work and have a heck of a time chasing them. You won't believe how fast they can run when chased, and how slow and clumsy I am when chasing them bending over. They are growing fast with the chick starter feed I bought them.
