Momma just doing her thing

[aquabum]

Three weeks old and out and about after a rain. Raising chicks the natural hands off way has been a piece of cake! Momma hen really knows best. I let her hatch them alone. But at day three, I opened the separated area in the run, let them out and things just magically work. She protected them and provided all they need. Now she's out showing them the ropes to be a big chicken.

So cute! What breed is she?

She's a mutt. Dad was a big Rhode island red. Momma was an Easter egger. Chicks are even more mutts. Dad is my profile picture and chicks range from mutt hens to polish and more Easter egger mixes.
