Broody hatch-a-long!!! With Pippin!

I'm glad that Pippin doesn't try to attack me! when she tried to attack the dog, she looked really scary!
what breed are your chicks again?

They’re delwares, as that’s what my friend had. I’m definitely going to go bantam next time. lol

bato's five are about 10 days old now. they are still very smol but starting to race/fly around like lunatics.

Its been really hot here recently. Maybe around 20-35°C
Although it's quite uncomfortable for me, it's perfect for Pippin's chicks who don't have to take a break under Pippin to warm up!

Selfie with mamma!

How are all the chicks doing?

 

[PippinTheChicken]

The chicks are still so tiny but they can jump/fly so high!
I guess bantams are good at flying.

This is them back inside after a long day of running around.
You can see darwin taking a dustbath in the food bowl!!!

bantam chicks are so tiny! I think mine are going to outgrow mana by week 5

Mine were due for the 20th but I got home tonight after work and the hen was sitting in the wrong nest lol

The eggs were cold to the touch, any hope I'll see little ones this weekend?

Hey it's been a while.
Chicks are getting older... They are around 9-10 days old now.
They can fly really well and it was unbelievable to watch them fly up onto "the decorative branch" in the chicken run.

Clover (the oldest chick) has really beautiful and large wing feathers so she can fly the best. Darwin can fly quite well too but Basil needs a bit of help getting up.
You can see:
-Clover on the top branch
-Darwin the brown chick on the lower branch with basil

Depends how long they've been cold for. They could just be a few days late in development. Don't give up on them.
