The Carr Family Quakers: Chick Pictures - July 11th
We "babysat" Elijah and Elisha on Sunday while their new family was away on a day trip. It took a few moments for everyone to recognize each other, but the chicks settled in just like they had never left the nest. Beaker and Chauncy Sue seemed a bit puzzled to see their brood double in size so suddenly, but dove right in grooming and feeding the older chicks.
A family portrait.
Chauncy Sue grooms feather sheaths from one chick
while Beaker "horks up" a good yum to feed another chick. (And yes, it
looks as gross as it sounds -- but, hey, that's how they do it.)
A peek through the cage bars at Chicks #3 and #4,
snug and warm in the nest that their dad Beaker built. (taken July 6th)
