The 2016 Chicks
Meet the new team for 2016. These little chicks are 1 week old.
Delilah is doing a great job with her first lot of chicks. She is a nice calm hen (unless you are threatening her babies), so the chicks should grow up nice and calm too.

The poser. There's one in every group isn't there?

Chick time is such fun. Love yours. My granddaughter bred about 30 this year, happily, since one of the dogs discovered that half grown chickens make a crunchy snack, there are not quite as many left to dig bunkers in my daughter's garden. The last one just had 4 little ones. I love my chickens although my garden is now like a minefield and I really have to be careful where to put my feet. The three of them have dug up my garden as never before. There is so little food to be found in the extreme dry.
ReplyDeleteI have a dog who quite likes a chicken snack too. She is learning not to indulge as she gets older.
DeleteI love this post. 1st time mama chicken with her cute chicks. The mama is protective and the little poser chick is so cute! Have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello!:)Lovely captures Jocee!:)I held a little chick in my hand yesterday( they are so light, I hardly felt it) but just couldn't resist picking one up. They are so cute, and my husband's aunt used to knit little coats to keep them warm and bring them indoors when it was cold. She was a sweet old lady.:)I'll never forget how cute they looked. Have a nice weekend!:)
