Chick Time

I had, had is key word here, about 18 roosters.  I now have, have is key word, 4, however, I haven't seen the black one for a few days.  My hens have always been good mamas and they are good at it.  I usually let them hatch out a batch or 2 each year.  I have about 6 boxes full of eggs, of which I'm sure most are fertile.  A few hatched Monday, more yesterday, and more this week.  Here are the first few, such colorful ones this time. 

I just let the hens be mama, they are better at their job than I am.  It's better for the chick and they seem to fair better this way.  Smarter, heartier, tougher then if I coddle them.  June is one of my favorite months at our farm.
