Mother Nature

We love new additions to the farm. Especially when the little ones come unexpected... well, most of the time. We do not appreciate a mother nanny or hen dropping out a newborn during a storm like a couple weeks ago.
I know a hen does not "drop out" a newborn, but hatching out babies can come at bad times too.
This is not the case.
We, meaning Aaron, fed the feathery livestock today and discovered some new babies. This is exciting for us all.
We, again meaning Aaron, took the new one's away from their mother to put them in a nice, cozy, safe place. Now the little dudes and dudettes can grow big and serve a purpose instead of just being cute.


For now, we will just enjoy the cuteness.


The little girl is a big fan of fresh babies, especially the tiny, fuzzy ones.


Isn't this just too cute?


This too? My vote is yes. So, so cute. I can't resist this face.


Good night baby birds. I hope you grow big and strong and are egg-providing hens. Except for the one on the far left, I know you're a duckling(of which we can only see the south end), and I know you did not come 100% from mother nature. We will say a special 'thank you' prayer for whomever invented the incubator later.
