An Addition to the Family


We've had an addition to the family! Micah and Emmalee are holding our newest addition--three chicks. Well, truth is they're not ours, but our landlord's. (I had you there, didn't I?) The first week or so of their existence, they found a nice and easy route out of the coop. They just follow Mama, who easily fits through the opening in the fence. After several challenging opportunities of capturing Mom and babies and putting them back in the coop, our landlord decided to let them stay out of the coop. They now live in some bushes just outside the coop. Our landlord figured that was a safer place for them to live for the time being, as there was less chance for the hawks to spot them and snatch them. It's been a challenge to keep Sydney from noticing. Nevermind, she's been on a serious hunt for rat(s) living under our deck.
