Our Son..Chick(en) crazy

8 years old, a love for many things but especially his animals. His quiet words, gentle touch and utmost care makes my heart smile. Asking for some pictures with his two new babies I was happy to take a few snapshots. Telling me he's like a dad and they are his 'job', his responsibility. Carefully he looked them over, determining one looked very healthy then determining the other had a messy bottom..so he proceeded to clean the chick up, a little cloth and some warm water and back into the cage they both went. A little while later in the day he happily reported as I washed dishes, that the temperature looked good, everyone was sleeping and they had plenty of water and food. Beaming, smiling. You did good I told him, your babies are lucky to have you. More smiling.

Chicken love.
