In the Brooder
Our outside nursery coop and run was completed today so the chicks and mama are outside. They seem to have had a great time all day but at roost time they just snuggled under mama in a corner outside. I'm the run.
Being very nervous of this I moved them into the coop part (that was a pantomime and a half ... Three chicks in, one chick out, mama hen in, 2 chicks out, 4 chicks in, mama hen out... You get the picture. Anyway. They are all inside now and hopefully will settle down soon. I noticed before this hen had chicks she's sleep in the nesting box and not roost so when I left her she was sorting it to her liking - I just hope I've not moved them too soon - novice panicking I think. We've had rescue hens for years but baby chicks.... Oooo so new!!!!!

Hope they're ok tomorrow!
