Surprise in the barn!





At our house, chickens come and go. We have discovered that they die easily. Mostly because of the coyotes that live in the woods. We have had 3 die hards for a long time now. They seemed to have the secret to survival. Well, a few months ago one of the hens disappeared. We just figured that she was eaten. Daddy went into the barn to find a tool and heard small cheeping sounds and was surprised to find the hen that we lost with 4 baby chicks that had hatched! How exciting! Hopefully these new babies will live long and prosper!
