Baby Chicks

God is so amazing!  As I have written previously that we lost 10 chickens to raccoon or fox attacks which has really hurt my egg production.   I just don't have the money to buy more replacement chickens at this time.

I have had two hens that have been setting on a small nest of eggs for the last month or two.  Really didn't think much would come of it.  We do have a rooster so I thought there might be a slim chance that one or two of the eggs MIGHT actually hatch, but never had any success with that.  So I just left the two hens alone, figuring if it made them happy setting on the nest, so be it.

Well, lo and behold, two weeks ago what I did find??  A baby chick!!

A couple days later another baby chick followed and another and another and another . . . So in the last two weeks, we have had 11 baby chicks hatch - completely replacing the 10 that I lost.  Of course, I don't know if all these baby chicks are hens.  But, God is so absolutely amazing . . . He gave me my replacements free of charge - LOL!!
