    Chicks Roosting

    Went to the run with treats this evening and my 7 chicks that are two and a half weeks old were on the roost with mama and the rest of the big birds. I feel strangely proud of them but also sad they are growing up. Fortunately I have younger chicks and more under broodies so life is pretty...

    First time to set, anything.

    I am really new in the world of chickens. I had a hen went broody this week and moved her last night. She has 12 of my eggs under her. Checked her this morning and she is really wanting to be a mother. We will see in about 21 days. Kenny
