A surprise this morning. We have a baby chick!
Just a quickie pic for now... I didn't want to disturb them too much and the other eggs haven't hatched yet.

Chicks are so cute. Chickens, not so much..
What a darling face!
Awwww...cute!
Those hens are surprisingly nice--I woulda thought they'd be more protective. That's so cute though. Makes me wanna buy a farm and get a bunch of chickens!
Ditto!
This hen is a Buff Orpington, which is a very docile breed. She squawks a little and makes pecking motions, and fluff her feathers all out - but doesn't really do any harm.
Unfortunately the other two eggs didn't hatch. I should have given her more of them I guess. I'll know better next time.
Oh, that little chickie face! What a great picture....also, I admit to being very envious that you get to enjoy it in person.
(Though I am hoping to perhaps have a few ducklings next year!)
