Perhaps when this picture was taken in October, 2019 I could have explained what's going on. One year later, I have no idea.

First Day of School...One Year Late
We didn't even think to take pictures on the first day of virtual learning for the 2020-2021 school year. Here are the kids a year ago, at the start of the 2019-2020 school year.

Baby Chicks
The same day we picked up the four pullets, we were given 11 fertilized eggs by the farmer. One of our adult hens, Trouble, was acting broody and wanting to sit on her nest all day. Given that we had a broody hen, Sally thought it would be fun to see if she could actually hatch some eggs.
The newborn chicks were decidedly egg-shaped, and unbelievably cute. Chickens can forage, eat, and walk from the day they are born. The baby chicks were up and moving around the coop immediately.
The baby chicks are voracious eaters and grow quickly. Although these are bantams, which means they will only get to be about half normal size when they are full grown.
21 days later, nine of the eggs hatched.
Breakfast Visitors
The new chickens have started regularly spending their days in the backyard. We've been keeping the deck's gates closed so they don't befoul the whole thing, but this morning they flapped up and paid us a visit at breakfast.
