Well, she is being a really protective mother hen. So its hard for me to get pictures so far
When she see's me she calls to them and trys to keep me from seeing them. :)

Oh, the chicks are so adorable. The hen is beautiful. Great pics. It must be so enjoyable to be able to raise animals... or birds on your property.

Yeah we like it.
We like birds
We used to breed cockatiels and love birds but it got out of hand(too many... not enough buyers)
We traded 30 teils and 5 lovebirds for two Conure parrots....lol
We still raise and sell Canaries and Button quail though.
I'll get pics up of those soon ;D

Wow, you two are really into birds! I prefer mine outside at the birdfeeder. A parrot would be fun but it would scare the stuffing out of our Piggy the scaredy cat.
