New life

I had a chook that just insisted staying clucky

I got tired of fighting with her every day for the eggs so I left her for a week

then moved her entire nesting box in the night to a third chicken house.

On Monday the first chicken hatched, it is dark coloured.

Tuesday another one, it is yellow and

today there was a poor soul being eaten alive by meat ants.

I pulled off the ants and the chicken blincked at me

so I brought it inside and set up the light for warmth.

It looks comfortable and is breathing.

I don't really know what to do with it, but if it gains some strength

I will put it back with it's mother and cross my fingers.

There were 6 eggs yesterday and just 3 today so

I should count the chickens.
