Spread Your Wings

The time has come to let our babies spread their wings.

Our spring babies are growing fast and it is time to start letting them free range during the day. This is always entertaining when the youngsters run free and start to explore the area for the first time.

It is also a very dangerous time. While the youngsters explore their environment, the boy and I keep watch, This may sound a bit paranoid, but I think I can feel the eyes of a thousand predators, drooling, licking their chops, and staring through the thick forest cover, just waiting for us to let our guard down.
So the boy and I will plant our chairs out by the hen house, and we will stay on guard until the last chick goes into for the night.

And Tommy and Jordan should be very excited, you only have approximately 26 more years before you can spread your wings and run free.
