Pretty eggs from our colorful hens.
Brooklyn decided that January was the perfect time to raise a family. She successfully hatched 8 chicks and is a very good mother.
A few of the chicks got to travel with me to high school one day. The students had the option of sketching one of the chicks.
The chicks were quite a hit with the students.
One talented art student sketched one of the chicks. Amazing.
Here are the babies almost 4 weeks later. They grow so quickly.
This morning I went to the feed store and came home with 10 new babies. Seven are Cuckoo Marans and 3 are Buff Orpingtons. I have them set up in the maternity ward with a heat lamp.
The fig tree is still a favorite hang out even in the winter when there are no leaves.
