Smart chickies

When we first received our batch of chickens I was a little hesitant with the Sumatras. Sure they looked sexy but everything I had read about them had them as loud, flighty, and unable to brood or raise their young. Well, as it turns out it was a little Sumatra that was the first and only one to stay broody and hatch her young. Yesterday I walked out to give her food and water and found two tiny chicks in there with her. She was still sitting on her eggs so it seems as if she's waiting on a few more before she moves. As soon as most if not all are hatched then we're going to go ahead and move her with her young to a secure area so that they can run around and learn how to survive on their own.
