Mother hen and 2 baby chicks |
Last Saturday evening we were walking back to our fale. There is a long driveway behind the distribution center with a wall about 14 inches high on one side. There are bushes and trees growing on the other side of the wall in a raised garden area. Apparently there are things chickens like to eat around the bushes because there was a family of 7 baby chicks rummaging around them with their mother. One of the baby chicks had fallen off the wall and was seperated from his family. He was running back and forth along the base of the wall trying to find a way to get back up with his family. He was "peeping" to let his family know where he was. His brothers and sisters were also "peeping" so he would know they were up there. The young chick made several attempts to fly. He would run as fast as he could and flap his wings but he couldn't quite get enough altitude to reach the top of the wall. We watched the scene for quite awhile wondering if there was someway we could help without causing a problem. We were able to guide the little chick around to the front of the building where there is a sidewalk that sloped up into the garden area. The wise mother brought her family around to the front of the building and the family was united again.

President Leota and Sister Leota came to our meetings today. The confirmations took most of the meeting but there was a little time left over for him to speak.
