First Broody hatching experience/watch 'em grow!

third chick hatched. silly mumma decided they should all move whike he was still moist so I found him near dead in the coop. Must have been just in time, warmed him up and now he's all snuggled into my neck

I will post some cold and after warming pics of this little peep too. I'll put him under mumma tonight once he's properly strong and mumma won't move away for the night!

His mum accepted him!!!

He's been with her all day, still a little slower than the other two but keeping up alright! It was cute, they were running around in the coop and when I opened the coop, the first two peeped and ran under mum but he ran up to me!! I think maybe because he was so young and spent so long with me that he's imprinted on me a bit!

I REALLY hope he's a SHE so I can keep her/him!

They all have wing feathers now! The second and (especially) the third/lucky chick have heaps more coming in that the first chick. Does this mean anything?

Will post some pictures tomorrow! Hopefully the will play king on the castle on their mum again!
