Itty Bitty Bantam Chickie...

This here chickie is the smallest chickie I've ever had runnin around with the flock in the chicken run/coop... its BO Momma really protects it, poor lil thing is too little to go back into the coop after momma brings it out so they sleep under the coop at night, I try to bring in at night but sometimes I cant reach em.

This bantam hatched in May from a secret nest Chipmunk one of my bantam hens was trying to make, Brian was cuttin grass one day and the tire to the tractor ran over the nest crushing all but 2 eggs, I put them under a broody bo and this one made it.

(Chipmunk has another hidden nest somewheres... I cant find it, but shes hasnt givin me eggs for almost 2 weeks now, she better bring me some babies in the next few weeks!)
