I started with one measly pair of doves. After giving away 7 there are 13 living in my house. Stevie and Lindsey are still laying eggs.

I sent it to my daughter, who just received 7 chicks as a birthday gift from her future in-laws, so I hope to meet them soon!

I thought it was mite early to take to the nest, but she and another hen both went broody, altho only one batch hatched out.
The baby chicks look adorable but sure grow out of the cute stage fast.
