They are very sweet with each other. The austrolorp growls when I come over but otherwise they are both pretty quiet. I always make sure my broodies are used to having a person touching and being close while they are on the eggs so I can touch and handle the fluffy butts when they hatch.What absolutely precious ladies!
Also to the person trying to figure out how to make a walkway for chicks, cover whatever it is in fake grass, gives them something to give a grip on and the babies can climb quite steeply then.
