The chicks are healthy and can run and jump quite well for being 5 days old and are very active and curious, but they are also quite stubborn. Mama hen just tried convincing her chicks to follow her out of the nestbox, and even the one that was trapped under her wing and fell out when she was out of the box, ran back in.
She tried clucking to them, and pecking at the ground, but they just stood there in the nestbox staring and chirping. They normally follow her around and are practically glued to her, but I guess this morning they are a bit lazy? Mama hen caved in and went back on the nestbox after a few tries in convincing the chicks.
