First chick

The first chick appeared under the old mama today.


She is still sitting on eggs, so perhaps there will be more.

Finally it's Spring!
I thought the daffodils would never arrive.
They are very late, but welcome.


Today Henrietta brought her chick out to see the world.
It is the only survivor. Two others hatched, but did not make it.
The rest of the eggs were not viable.

After the kids left, poor Tommy was sad. Not as much fun without a kid to play with.
