All four eggs hatched. These baby robins are between one and three days old.
American Robin hatchlings
They give me a new perspective on my hungry teenage sons.

Sooo very sweet. I wouldn’t be able to get any work done. I’d be outside watching them and tossing meal worms out to mama to feed them. Gosh, I’m such a softie.
There are plenty of insects for the robin parents to find without me feeding them! I’m happy for them to eat the bugs, it makes me happy every time I see an inch worm in their beaks.
Oh, I know there are plenty of bugs out there. I just feel for the parents who work so hard at it.
I think it’s like chickens – if they get all of the food easily, at once, they get sick. Besides, I think they like the time off of the nest away from those demanding chicks :)
ADORABLE!!!!!!
What a treat to watch. I love the parents getting all kinds of bugs from the yard. An added bonus!
Thank you!!!
Right outside your window! What a privilege! Thanks for the lovely photos, Terry. :-)
Haha My son is 7 and he is already an eating machine!
Does Lily know they are there?

Love chickens? Love vintage? Combine the two and that’s what you’ll find here. You might also find quirky, crafty, retro and recipes. And maybe something fun with a rabbit on it. Or a goat. It’s that sort of blog.
I’ve written about most of the issues that arise in backyard flocks. I’ve written FAQs to answer the most commonly asked questions. If the answer you seek isn’t in a FAQ, there’s a wealth of useful information on my website archives, which is easily searchable – simply type the topic into the box.
