    New life! Chicks are hatching today. No matter how many times I see new chicks peaking out from under their mother’s feathers for the first time, it is pure joy.

    And in about two weeks, if all goes well, a clutch of tiny chicks will be peaking out from under this hen.

    The last of the chicks hatched during the night. This morning I moved the mother and her chicks into a nursery. Some chicks don’t move much the first few days. These chicks are ready to explore. They are going to be handful for her to raise.
