Your photos brought a smile to my face :) My son loves going into Murdochs in the Spring because they always have a bunch of chicks and of course he always wants one :) My in-laws have chickens so I guess he can get his chicken-fix over at their home {{smiles}}<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing this charming post with Roses of Inspiration.

The babies love to see me, because that means I protect them from the mean hens, only problem is I can't stay out there all day. It makes me so sad to see that! They do seem to keep their distance from each other more now, and it isn't as bad. I appreciate your visit today!

She, and her girls were spending time with their chicks while the hens were running around eating bugs. My granddaughters don't understand the peck order with the older hens, and it upsets them when the chicks get picked on.<br />Love your post.

Hopefully, you'll get quite a harvest of eggs once these are mature. <br /><br />Abigail seemed interested in them for a little while yesterday- leaning far from your arms to get a better look, haha.
