mom moved to the coop with the chicks PICS

[abhaya]

Today was the big day. Mom moved out to the coop with the chicks. It is going great. Mom had a dust spa treatment she is soooo happy and the chicks are exploring. They have been on my unheated back porch. they have not had a heat light in a week and are great with mom keeping them warm. I think it is warmer outside during the day and just a touch colder at night but not much and the coop is pretty draft free. Water in the run froze last night but the water in the coop was fine.

I am not at all interested in silkies - those ARE silkies, right? - but those chicks are just so darned cute!!!

Mommas do such good jobs with their hatchlings, don't they?

Collective "Awwwwwwwww!"

Sooo cute!!

Silkies are a kid magnet! My boys loved our white Silkie before he passed away

(We have a Buff Silkie hen now) They're so unusual and different. A friend of mine referred to the Silkie as "Hippie Chicken"...

I would love to find another White Silkie, but a hen this time since I already have an EE Roo. I'll keep looking...
