This is how it all began 🙂
Then we decided to put some eggs into an incubator – et voila!
We had 6 chickens hatch <3
At first I wasn’t quite sure if Layla was interested in the chicks to secure her food or if she started to develop Momma instincts 😛
But after a while it became quite clear that she was ready to adopt them <3
In the beginning Zac didn’t want to have anything to do with those little creatures – but pretty quick he turned into a great uncle 🙂
He LOVES to babysit (for instance when I need to have the chicks out of the brooder in order to clean it) …
They both sit very excitedly in front of the bathroom door when they think it is time for some chick action 😉
This little guy got hurt and needed some extra care <3
You can barely see him – he is the yellow spot right under Layla’s curled up paw 🙂
Uncle Zac is right there in case he’s needed <3
More to follow 🙂
