It is almost 2 weeks since this lovely hen started hatching a bunch of eggs. It is the third time that this is happening to our chicken coop since we had our first hens, almost a year ago and every time I am amazed by the dedication and patience they demonstrate.
They are spending 3 weeks in total stillness, they hardly eat or drink and they have only one thing in their tiny mind, to protect and hatch their eggs. Maybe I sound like a city boy that visited the grandparents at the village but I am truly and honestly mesmerized by their behavior!
I took the 2 shots above the day she was ready to start hatching and she hasn't moved since. At first she was sitting at a different place but I made for her this cozy nest and adding a few eggs that I had saved from the previous days in order to maximize the chances for many off-springs :)
Those two are six weeks old and were born right here in the chicken coop too. You can see what they looked like about a month ago, here. I feel very strongly about doing things the natural way and I am really proud watching our coop to grow with a slow but steady rate!
And one sunset for closer because you can never see too many sunsets :)
I have used for those photographs my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro so they don't have the usual quality but the good thing about the smartphone is that I always have it in my pocket and I am taken a lot of pictures that I would had otherwise missed!
All the pictures and the words are mine.
