One of my hens has gone broody, and I'm thinking about sneaking chicks under her at night.
Have you had luck with this method?
I assume I need to have food and water nearby for the chicks-- is this enough room for that?
The container our hen picked has about a 6 inch side, so u don't think chicks could easily get out of it-- is that okay?
I'll have the brooder ready in case she rejects them.
Please give me all your advice so I can do this right!

Getting out into the mountains is good for my soul.
We had a lovely hike on Friday. Whenever we go hiking I wonder why I don't make it happen more often.
Lots of butterflies (and moths) were out.

Today, I got the urge to bake. I wanted to make rolls to go with soup for dinner. While I was making rolls, I decided to also make hamburger buns for tomorrow's dinner, and pizza dough (not pictured) for Saturday's dinner. And then-- since I obviously didn't have enough going on-- I threw together cinnamon rolls, as well.

I milled all the wheat first (1700 grams), and then had two KitchenAid mixers going.

I got ingredients in one and got it kneading, then started on the other, and went back and forth like that. It actually worked pretty well.
