This old Hen is doing a pretty good job with her little ones.
Although the group originally started with 14 or 15 chicks, nature has taken it's toll.
The group is now down to 10 little ones and Mom!
They stroll right by my house a couple of times a day, early in the morning going to the stock tank and again later on headed back to the deep woods to spend the day.
They usually fan out a little more and cover a strip about 20' wide, grabbing all the grasshoppers they can.
In the video, you can see the hoppers jumping ahead of the pack.
