So, Luke still has this great love for his chickens.  Especially his pair of bantams.  The other morning Brian got up for work early to go out back to fix a sprinkler, and forgot to dead bolt the back door when he left.  All were sleeping (or so I thought).  I was in bed reading my Bible.  I thought I heard the back door open/close.  Next thing I know, Luke is standing by my bedside with his little hen (see dark picture).  He said “girl one has poop on her, help me keen if offff, peease”.  I had to get a wipe and help him get the poop off her little foot.  This is all at 6:30 in the morning!!!! He also told me she needed a “cuddle” from him.

And here a little later in the morning.  Every morning he goes to let these little ones out and plays with them. I have never seen someone love chickens so much! He’s pretty good with them too.  Very good about getting them all (even the bigger ones) back in the coop.
