Cheep

Look what Brendan found in our yard this afternoon . . .

We had two hens that were broody and sitting on a batch of eggs, but I've seen both of them out of the coup more and more lately, so I thought they'd given up. Hens do that sometimes.

But I guess not! This little guy (or gal) was in the grass just outside the coup. We checked inside and there was another one that unfortunately didn't make it. But now we're on chick-watch! As they hatch, we'll pull them out and keep them separate from the adults. 

I'm hoping for 3-5. That would be a nice addition to our pet flock.
