This is just a brief update on the fate of Claire and the chicks of Baby Land.
The last time, I mentioned that Eugenie had gone back to Hen Things when the babies were 5 weeks old.
They are now 7 1/2 weeks old and Claire has yet to go back to Hen Things. She does wander away from them or them from her… occasionally. But for the most part, they are together. Just without Eugenie.
Not that you would notice a difference, because more recently, Pavelle and her baby AJ have been hanging out with them.
The older chicks treat AJ very well, and Claire seems to tolerate Pavelle so long as her babies don’t get pecked.
There a Chick 
How nice that they’re playing happy families! Claire sure does like motherhood…

And she is a good mother, too. She teaches Independence, critical thinking alongside practical bug catching skills. I’m really impressed watching her. I hope Eugenie learned something from mothering with her this year.

Oh cool! I will definitely check out your new birds! And yes, commercial chicken places will never see the true family dynamic they have.
