Meet Buttercup, Baby Lumi & Baby Luna

Meet Buttercup and her two babies, Lumi & Luna, who were just born about 2 weeks ago! They figured out how to fly around 8 or 9 days old and tonight is the first night that she’s moved them from their ground nesting spot up to a roosting spot ~9 feet high. (Unfortunately, the ”roost” that she found is my garage storage shelves, and I’m not thrilled about them being up there. She looks so cute with her little babies though, I don’t have the heart to kick her out. 💕)

For context: I don’t have a proper chicken coop. She was a wild hen who decided that she wanted to be my pet. Now I’ve adopted her and she basically just lives on my screened-in porch and free ranges in my yard. I’m thinking that it’s probably time to buy a real chicken coop… 😅
