This hen and about 6-8 of her adorable little poults wandered through my back yard. Not bad for city living, eh?

When she saw and heard me racing through the house and throwing open the window, she startled to nestle into the grass. All of her babies knew to dart right under her—it was the cutest!

This was shot on 35mm film with the longest lens that I had in my house, to get as close as possible to poor frightened mama.
