A Mother and her Octuplets moved into our Neighborhood

Steve, Noah and Stevie came home with this cutest family, consisting of 1 hen and 10 chicks.

This was taken while they were still in the box.  Steve bought them at the farmer's market.






Then out they went into their little coop.



Trudy wanted to make sure that they knew where the water and feed were, so she climbed into the coop and the mother hen took the chicks away.  Trude did catch one chick and showed him the water.  I think this is so fun.

I hope you get lots and lots of eggs. Mom has some horror stories about the hen coop you guys had.
