[CHICKENS-101] New baby chicks

 

So far there are only 2, and the mom chicken was off the nest, eggs strewn all about.  I brought the chicks into the house, brought the hen into the house, brought the eggs into the house and put them into the nest I created.  Set the 2 chicks in with the eggs and plopped the hen onto the whole mess.  Fixed her food (chick starter now) and water and put a quilt over the hutch. 

These are my first chicks hatched from my hen's eggs so it's a big moment.  I believe there is another hen setting and of course, like the first one, I haven't a clue how long she's been on eggs.  Duh is me!
