Description

I know this looks menacing but it did have a happy ending. The rooster started eyeballing the chick and I wasn't sure how this was going to end, but then mother hen clucked in the distance and the little chick raced towards her and all ended well. I'm not sure that the rooster was going to hurt it, it just looked intrigued.

Nawwwwwww, this is the cutest!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad it ended well. I think he would have left the little one in peace anyway, but it's always good to have mother near by, isn't it?
This image is a sure winner in my book, Ann. Fantastic moment captured with colors and details that are TOPS!

I did NOT realize that little chicks could show emotion in their eyes. Just look at that expression: "DON'T MESS WITH ME!" it seems to say.

Yes...this image is a winner, Ann. Congratulations! #10432336
