Hiram had babies!!!!!


I. AM. SO. HAPPY!! :D

Hiram is a proud dad of...count them...FOUR baby chickens!!! :)
Originally 6 hatched out, but they didnt make it (I totally blame Nathaniel's 'beautiful' but 'stupid' hen) :)

Here's a photo of the little lovelies:



Another shot:



I love-a them SO much! And oddly enough, they are not completely black - which is what I would have expected with an all black mum n dad. And before any of you suggest it - he IS the dad...no-one hopped the fence and went on hiatus with Nathaniel's beautiful chooks except for Hiram :)

Here's one of the pup from yesterday :)

  1. What IS Molly doing!? :) That's a funny photo!

    Congratulations to Hiram! (Perhaps they'll change colour as they grow? Does that happen?)

  3. Ha ha! Molly is smiling...this is why she sneezes so much - cos her schnoz is all scrunched up!!:)
    I really thought Id finally taken the perfect shot of her...it wasnt until AFTER Id uploaded this photo that I realized she had pipped me at the post with her eyes scrunched up! :) LOL!

    One day I'll get a nice shot of her looking at me...

    Im not sure how old the chickens are...maybe 2 weeks old? Or maybe they're so big cos Hiram's so big!
