Surprise! Additions to the family

I came home from work to find two new little black chicks bouncing around the box with (step-)Mom!  They´re already done?  Time flies!I came back later with a camera and it was a different story.  Nothing to see here.  The chicks were stowed.  She has one more egg too.Mom´s looking good.  She´s had time to regrow her feathers during her confinement.I had to coax and poke and weather firm chicken growling to get a peek at a chick.  Oh!  There´s a little head.There´s one!They are as big and as lively as a week-old Silkie chick (these are Ameracaunas- they´re going to grow up to have cheeks!)Time to break out the chickery:)Also this evening I unexpectedly took receipt of four gorgeous Brahma hens.  They are large, and serene, and sweet!  So lovely.  They were taken directly to bed, and we´ll get to see them tomorrow:)
