@chicken danz - you're right, we are enjoying the chicks. We've done chicks a number of times before, but its totally different with a mamma hen. We start talking to her, and there is some straw rustling, then a little head or two pops out, before much longer all three are out walking around. I took her some left-over, cooked oatmeal today after breakfast and the chicks were working to get some scraps of what she didn't eat. It's been so nice to not have to worry about exact temperatures and things, letting mamma hen do the work has made things much easier so far. I think I'll keep them in the smaller enclosure for a couple of weeks before starting the integration process. For some reason, all of my other birds seem to prefer eating and drinking in the small pen. So, once I open things up the whole group will be in and out of there, hopefully acclimating everyone to each other eventually.
