update...

So did I say we have 2 chickens???

Yeah, make that 7. 

Needless to say, we were a bit surprised to find our hen herding her babies into the yard.  She had sneakily hidden her nest, and we didn't know anything about it.   The count as of today is 6 chicks, 6 baby goats, 1 baby horse and 2 baby cows in the fields surrounding our house.  It feels like some strange daycare facility, complete with regular bottle feedings. 

Meanwhile, the chickens are plotting.....

that's right human, just come a liiiitle bit closer.....
