Yes, eight of them, and they are super-adorable.
Previously, the only three animals here were the cat in the pantry, and one hen and one rooster who live in the yard of the boys' house. The hen has ben nesting for quite a while, and Marsha and I had given up on anything hatching, and were talking about taking the eggs away so she could try again. And then today we found eight little fuzzballs with beaks tumbling after proud mama hen around the courtyard. Seven are black and one is brown, and they really are ridiculously cute. No one else here seems to be as excited though; the boys mostly seemed to think I was crazy for following them around and taking pictures. They may be right, but I don't care, I will never pass up an opportunity to appreciate baby animals. I'll put up pictures when I can.
Oh my goodness how exciting! You should teach them to do tricks!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Virginia... you could get them to build a baby-chicken pyramid?
