Week 3 After adding one more layer of hardware cloth to the original fence, we let mama hen and baby chicks return to the flock, well, in fact, just another 4 hens. As what I noticed earlier, the other adult hens show quite little interests in them. The mama hen was originally the omega...

2W2D All six chicks grow well and much bigger then they were. I love to see how much they like (to destroy :lau ) veggies and herbs I prepared for them. Feed for chicks, strawberry and some egg yolk

Just brought them some new feed and water, within 2 minutes it's again a mess. Well, as a mom of a human teenager I can ignore this without any problem....:caf

Day 8, all of them stay energetic and active. Eat well, drink well, sleep well (i guess) and play all day. They have baby chick feed and in the morning, I will also prepare a small portion fresh food (carrot, apple, veggies, boiled yolk, all very fine processed). So far they enjoy well. They...

Baby chicks can jump really high!

Day 5, all baby chicks already learned how to eat, how to drink, how to play up and down, how to peck their mom on the face :lau and, the most important, how to follow mom tightly and hide under mom's wings when something strange (strange sound, strange human beings..) appeared. Hey, little...

Finally today the weather is a bit better, at least no rain, the temperature slowly increased to 13~15 degree C. I am happy to see mama hen is much like she was before getting broody. She eats like a normal chicken and brought chicks for some short outdoor activities, too. This area is...

i guess they are also mixed breed, bought that from a local seller.

Day 23, 6 hatched from 10, 1 is unfortunately dead halfway of hatching, the rest 3 eggs are simply not developed from the beginning. Life is really amazing, and growing up and getting older are true blessings.

I prepared some food for the mama hen, but everyone is hungry. So, now the chick's feed is ready for all. Number one is starving, i guess They are all hungry!

It's funny to see chicks and mama hen fight for the egg shell XD This is the first time I have chicks in my life, how can they be so fluffy! 5 are hathced!

Last night we had a quite scaring thunderstorm here, and it lasts for hours. It's difficult for me to well sleep as from last afternoon, the hatch day starts. However, this morning I realized there are already two successfully hatched. They are so cute and I think we made a right decision to let...
