Hens (July 27, 2011)

July 27, 2011 Have you ever seen a real live hen with her chick? It brings new meaning to that scripture “as a hen gathereth her chicks” or something like that. I thoroughly love watching our hen with her one chick. How she protects it and truly gathers it under her wing. I have stood in the pen for minutes upon minutes just watching the tiny fluff ball jet around and through the other chicks always to return quickly its mother for protection, or just to be near her. It reminds me of when my children call out for me, just to know where I am, not because they need anything, they just want to know I am close. I am curious to see whether it will be a rooster or hen 
