While browsing through my pictures, I came across this video of Rocky - the super mom and her latest batch of chicks.
She has set on at least 4 clutches and they are always huge. This one had 18 chicks - so did the very first one she hatched out.
I gave 6 to my grandkids to raise by hand and Rocky took care of the rest.
Here they are around 6 weeks old. Their bodies are already feathered in but their heads are still down. The cuteness of the first day is gone. Still, they are pretty cute even as almost teenagers.
A bit earlier, I came back from feeding the now full grown girls who just started laying a few weeks ago.
In the video, the chicks are helping us to divert bags and bags of cabbage from the landfill. At the time, my friend Stephanie was working for a company making organic Sauerkraut and Kimchi and lots of outer cabbage leaves would have ended up in the trash.
Chickens are great for turning waste into eggs and fertile soil...
