Our first baby Bantam chicks!

Three weeks ago, two of our Bantam hens became broody. As we didn't have a rooster at the time, a friend gave us four fertile eggs from his flock of bantams, which include a rooster. Our hens sat on these eggs quite happily, and today, two of them hatched. The mother hens were ferocious in their efforts to guard the eggs, and now the chicks, hence the gardening gloves to protect hands when removing the chick from under the hen! Aren't they the most darling little critters?
