NEHiN Mid July 2019

Nuttin continues to happen here in NewMahket. I have been around to document it more this month. It is fun to watch the babies grow up. The yard work is winding down and will be the subject of the next blog.

This hen has been doing a good job of caring for her brood. Now, what could be better than a mother taking care of her babies? THREE MOTHERS!!! The three hens have banded together and formed a flock. We now see them all together. There are babies of slightly different ages.
