And then there were two.

Another chick hatched out yesterday afternoon.

Since Isadora hatched out these chicks in a nesting box nearly two feet off the ground, I've been a little worried about things... The chicks don't need food or water for a day or two, but being a mother hen myself, I wanted to make sure they were available, so I took a little bowl of water out to tuck in a corner of the box this morning. I didn't realize chickens could growl, but Isadora sure did as I edged closer to put the bowl and some scratch in her nesting box. She's a good mama.
