Are you my mother?

This fluffy chicks has no dobuts about who its mother is.

She is the one who keeps it warm.

She warns it if danger threatens.

She teaches it how to behave.

She feeds it every morsel it consumes.






Watch this video to see how, despite sometimes standing ankle deep in food, the chicks wait for their mother to select every speck of food for them.

No incubator or brooder box can every replicate or adequately replace this care and affection displayed by a mother hen.

They look to her for guidance, protection, food and water.

This is why every one of my designer backyarders are hatched, raised and taught by specially selected mother hens. The alternative ways of hatching and raising chicks are too awful to think about.
