To all the mothers out there, and especially to mine, have a beautiful Mother's Day!
In the morning I plan to do a few odds and ends around the farm, and then we're headed to the city to have lunch with Alan's parents. Then, back to the farm to finish up a few more odds and ends. Supposed to be HOT, near 95. *ugh!* I'd better get some water on the garden in the morning!
I've got a cute little video to share with you. Brown Manetta (one of the Turken hens) hatched some chicks earlier this week. One of them got injured and didn't make it. Then, a couple days later, another chick hatched! But since it was days younger than the others and quite a bit smaller, it had a hard time keeping up with the activities. It ended up getting injured by another hen ... so I brought it in the house for a little extra TLC. Until it gets big and strong, we have a house chick. And just in time for Mother's Day! *grin*
Enjoy!
If you have trouble viewing the video here on the blog, you can check it out here on YouTube.
Happy Mother's Day!!
Adorable. Thanks for sharing.

Awww...how sweet. Have you named this one yet? It just reminded me of those Easter Peeps with it's soft yellow color and the cute little peeping sounds. You make a wonderful critter mommy.

Love the sweet peeps and chirps. It looks like a toy. I want to hold it (very gently of course). You have such a mommy's heart for all your animals!

Congratulations on more Turkins! I like to keep up on my namesakes! :-) What a cute little house chick you have there.
I hope all your farm animals showed you some love on Mother's Day. A little pay back for all the love you show them.
Hugs, Manetta

I hope the chick imprints on you and ends up following you everywhere you go. What an adorable and "independent" little chick. Happy Mother's Day to your Mom, your Alan's Mom, and you too (why not).

You are going to have to find some soft mittens to put on, so little chick thinks you are soft and cuddly under your hand, and Mama. LOL

Don't you think you are just going to love that little chick so much more then the others, cause look at how attached she/he is to you.
Happy Mother's Day!
Hugs,
Di
