    Surrogate mom hatched her babies!

    Just as an update all 4 chicks are still kicking and now 2 weeks old! They have survived some scares. A 6 foot black rat snake got into the coop but the chickens sounded the alarm and I got him out before he had dinner!

    I'd make a couple of waterers with poultry nipples for that many chicks. Hard to keep clean water with 99 chicks!
