hatchlings.
we returned from the mountains to find four, fuzzy, cute, little friends in our chicken coop. and one angry, vigilant, protective mama. we knew there was a chance the eggs would hatch over the weekend, based on when she went into egg incubating mode… the kids are in love. even isaac will hold them this […]
