So sorry that you lost some!

We lost 5 out of 7 of our free range chicks, gruesome...
You seem to be doing pretty good, are the chicks warm enough? It's good you're chicks have a mom.
P.S. The curtain is great!

I was very angry with the hawk...... but then I relized that I needed to be better prepared! I am prepared now! I AM NOT going to let that happen again........ They are warm enough. I live in FL and it has warmed up some and at night I have a heater in the coop if it drops below 50 it kicks on........ All the chicks are doing great! I can't believe how big they are and they are not even 2 weeks yet.... When I started I had them in a brooder and I don't remember them growing as fast as they are now. They literally have tripled in size....
