FOWL WEATHER!!!!

Last night closing up the hen house, June Hen and I were having our usual quiet conversation.  She didn't have much to say and assuming she was sad, I tried to sooth her.  "It will be okay June.  There will come a day when you will hatch some nice chicks." Then suddenly a small yellow chick appeared peeking out from the safety of her mother's red feathers.  I scared every chicken in the house when I whooped with joy.  

It is too early for me to move June around and try to see if there are more chicks but it is a wonderful thing to know that she will have at least one to take care of.  That will cause her to leave the nest a happy mama hen.

Check back to hopefully see a picture soon of the chick or chicks and to receive the final count to know who might have won the guessing contest.

*****HERE IT IS*****

Then there were TWO!  And that might not be all.  June had to get the two out of the nest for water and food so she had to leave the unhatched eggs.  She kept trying to go back but her babies could not get back in the nest.  I moved the remaining eggs into a nest box on the floor and put food and water there. June is settled back on the eggs and her chicks are managing to eat and drink while they await more siblings.....we hope.  Just look at those two cuties!!!

***BONUS PICTURE***

Had to throw in this cute picture of Catness.
