MARCH 10 = DAISY, MARCH 11 = MIDNIGHT

| Daisy is less than 24 hours old, peeping out from under Mom's wings of love |
Nothing makes us smile like new baby chickens, yesterday, Daisy came out of her capsule and today Midnight jettisoned her pod and entered the real world.
Our Silkie chicken named "Sunny" is the surrogate mother. She has dutifully kept these eggs warm and it paid off nicely, she has at least two new baby girls (we're hoping for girls :-).
DISCOVERING DAISY, BABY CHICKENS MAKE US SMILE
These eggs came from the two sex link hens known as "The Rangers" and were fertilized by our all time favorite Silkie rooster, Punky.

Our previous batch of three baby chickens from the same sources have nice personalities.
SUNDAY MARCH 13, 2023
The world may be self destructing around us but Chickens are happy.
Daisy is the strong and advanced chicken, but watch mom's wing tip carefully and you'll see little Midnight peaking out from the warmth, now that's "wings of love" :-)
Can't stop looking at and touching baby chickens. It is difficult to imagine how soft a baby chicken is. I picked up little "Midnight" today, It's like holding a piece of fluffy air, there is nothing there but softness, little tiny feet wiggling and a fearless attitude.
Midnight was less developed when she popped out of her space capsule. She's now entering her third day of life and doing great.
Yesterday, Daisy was twice as old as Midnight, she was two days old LOL.
