Awwww, sounds like she is a great mama! Enjoy your new chicksWell, snuck down last night, and as soon as she heard them peeping, her demeanor changed, interested and alert. I tucked them under her and it got quiet.
This morning, I went down early to let the layers out, give everyone a bit more room, and there is a chick with his head peaking out, cozy and warm and happy.
At noon, went down to check, and she has them all down out of the nest, (about a 1 foot drop to a platform, and a two foot drop to the floor) and out into the run, just outside the pop up door.
I took down some food and water, and put it near her, and chased off the layers. Everything looks mighty fine.
Now how to make -2 + 5 = a balanced flock? and NO coons, I don't need help. Fall is coming.
I love all the aspects of this hobby, but this is one of the sweetest parts! A hen with chicks.
