Baby "Chooks"

So my chickens (or "chooks" as those from Australia and New Zealand would say) decided to have babies! Well, only one of the hens, actually, but one morning I walked outside and found four new chicklets chirping away in the coop!

They are so adorable. I decided to bring them in the house to play with them one day, and to protect them from the other hens who had decided to break one of the eggs and try to eat the embryo inside - I have no idea why. It's really fun being able to have chickens and raise them. Too bad these ones hatched right before my departure back to the States...

One of them decided to be on lookout duty!

What a fun day!
