The sad and the funny

First the sad news. The little guy, the chicklet that was smaller then the rest was lost last week. I heard the mommy hen scream and by the time I got out there, no sign of em. I figure a hawk came in and snatched him before anyone knew what was up.

Here's to the little guy
Pass a pint around
If not for the little folks
Giants would abound

Ok, on to the funny, as you can see in the picture, the hens are acting goofy tonight. A giant set up house keeping, she doesn't know shes moving tomorrow, gona need a truck to move all her stuff. Then the babies settled in for the night with the first warm body they found, gona be chilly tonight. Then the mommy hen and helper mommy climbed in because the babies were in there. Can someone tell me why one of them couldn't just move over, hmmm. These chickens are funny creatures, no doubt.
