Molly is a chicken momma!

I've always let my chickens free range during the day and lock them up at night to protect them from the raccoons.  I thought the new hens were big enough now and started keeping the coop door open during the day.  For almost a week they would not venture out....just stand in the door and peek out.  Then for the next week they only would go within 4-5' of the door.  But today they made it all the way to the house and there will be no holding them back now.
 



But they have attached themselves to Molly and it looks like a little parade... a corgi and a entourage of 3 black hens behind her... She is not sure what to make of them.  Every so often she looks back and sure enough they are still behind her.


There is definitely some kind of mother fixation going on here... She hopped on the porch to sit with me and they just waited for her to come back down and off they went again...

This is so cute, I'd love some chickens but have no where to keep them.

Very puzzling world for Molly to be sure. At least the chickens didn't come up on the porch with her to visit.

LOL! Imprinting at its finest! Wonder if the Queen ever had/has that "problem" with her corgis?! ;-)
