Magic
We see one of these in our yard maybe once in 18 months, they rarely come down from the trees during daylight and we've never gotton close enough for a pic like this before:
And continuing the theme:
The Old English game bird was sitting on 8 eggs and ALL of them hatched! So we moved the new family from her clever little hidey hole behind the colorbond and into quarters we can secure at night:
She has two black, two brown, three yellow, and a white-ish one with a black stripe running down its head and back as if a child had used a paintbrush on the feathers - you can see it over on the right - and here is a brown that wasn't quick enough to run and hide:
The mother is such a little hen for so many chicks, can't wait 'til she braves the yard with them in tow. That'll be a picture to share!
