Today's lessons included scratching, pecking, and pulling grass. When another hen got too close, Duchess puffed up and held her wings out half-opened in a very intimidating manner. :)
I'm happy to report that all the chicks are well and growing.

I love to see the primitive way in which animals both protect and teach their young.
