I never had seen this fascinating and cute behavior before my trail cam captured it. Happy Thanksgiving!

  1. Pretty neat to see ! The chicks are almost too big to shelter under Mom any more.

  2. When I was a child, I remember my bantam hen covering her chicks when a hawk was hovering overhead. She squawked so loudly.

  3. A big family to look after, is that the usual number in a brood? a clutch? a hatch?
