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
