Hatched!

Part of the nightly patrol includes checking on the chickens and gathering eggs.  These aren't ordinary chickens...they have names and even like to be picked up.  To top it off, the chickens get all sorts of special treats and bread.  This annoys me incredibly and I become very jealous!  Tonight something else stole my thunder though - a new peacock baby hatched!  'Buffy' and '7 Dollar' (because that's how much she cost) have been sitting on a nest of peacock and guinea fowl eggs for 28 days now.  So far there is just 1 peachick and 3 guinea chicks but stay tuned....more may be hatching!
