Attack of the chickens

When i came back from my grandma place, my mom ask one of my aunt's whether she could give mom a mother chicken along with her baby chicks.. At first i thought she was joking but thankgoodness she meant what she said. My aunt brought back a beautiful wild mother chicken along with 3 adorable chicks. the chicks reminded me of my family's previous attempt at chick raising which ended in (the following is graphic) the death of the chick by a cat, one of the chicks was mising its head and there was some blood in the garden..



Here they r looking for insects
I didnt know chicks or chickens eat grass in their diet.

Now, armed with experience, my mom and brother marcus is taking great care of them in our back garden..
Chicks are just soo cute they would hide under their mother's feather to keep warm at night and when they need air they would pop out their heads.. The mother hen rarely sleeps during the night to guard her chicks, this shows hens are caring and loving mothers.
The End
