silkie hen with her brood

Sookie has 7, 5 Chanteclers and 2 Dominiques. Cant see them all in the pic as she had them tucked in for the night, I love how they suddenly pop out of her armpits!


Moved them down to the ground yesterday so I will try for some better pics now they are out and about!

Sookie looks very content. My favorite is when chicks try to balance on mama hens back. Too cute.

Yes that is too funny to see, usually I see mine sitting up on the waterer, haha mama, cant catch me up here!


She is a good mama on alert at the moment, the cat  and dogs were walking past outside!
