Feisty Mama Americana Hen hatches 2 baby chicks!

Above and below: This is that feisty fierce look of "don't mess with me or my chicks"

She's looking like she is going to peck me

To the left is one of her cute babies

Our little Americana hen is only one of two hens to ever hatch baby chicks at our farm. We hope to have more hens hatching chicks, but they just don't seem to get broody and if they do, they forget about the nest before the eggs have hatched, which is quite disappointing.

Don't get to close to a mother hen, she will peck you! Her chicks are dark black-gray colored and are absolutely adorable-- as far as chicks go.

This little red hen is checking me out. . .

. . . but food is food, as long as I stay very still!
