The day finally came that I had been waiting for. It had been exactly 21 days since we put the eggs under the broody hen. Sure enough, I heard little cheeps and finally seen a head poke out from under the mother. The chicks had hatched! We ended up with 9 little babies. It's so fun to watch her with the babies as she teaches them to eat. When she thinks it's getting a little too chilly for her babies she herds them all back under her feathers where it is warm. If she thinks danger is near, she quickly gathers them under the shelter of her wings. Just like our Heavenly Father does...."He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler."Psalm 91:4
