I was heading to the barn to put something away and I heard some peeping. Lo and behold, under the spruce, was Lucille. I thought she had been the coyote’s lunch a few weeks earlier, but here she was with a bunch of broken eggshells.
I moved her to the coop and thought I picked up 8 chicks. Later, Isaac found that there was an even dozen. They stayed in the coop yard for the first week and now are venturing further afield. They still all try to nestle underneath their mum!
So far, all are doing well, peeping up a storm all day long.
