So, so far, looks like no one came out worse for wear in yesterday's rain...

Whew! So glad to hear that, TPC. :-* When I checked on the chicks early this morning at one of the feedings, I could only count 3 chicks. I guess the 4th one was stuck in the middle of the chickpile somewhere and I just couldn't see it.

Luckily she's got great instincts.
Ivy is so much smaller that the chicks would not be as well protected.
I imagine that is true for most pairs.

Princess is chasing Ivy off when he tries to brood the chicks so she seems to be very cautious/protective of the kids in the cool/wet. She's been letting him brood earlier so looks like this is her response to the weather. Experienced mom alright.

Who was it who came up with the phrase "huddle-cuddle" a couple of years ago? Not sure if it has made it into the Phanatic's Dictionary yet but will check. In any case, with the cooler temps this morning (its been so warm since they hatched I'm sure it was a shock), this morning's chickpiles have definitely been "huddle-cuddles"!
