Success!
Mum brought them down today, with a little help from me (the only help I’ve given throughout this process). Mum isn’t looking great, the brooding process was tiring, and she got a bit beat up from the other hens, though she stood her ground. Being a first timer didn’t help, I’m sure.
As I’m typing this, introductions are taking place. 5 hens so far, one of which is one of the seniors.
She has managed to do something I never thought id see; having chicks in the main, free range group. For that reason, she deserves a name, and I have the perfect one for her. Celebrian, as is the name of Galadriel’s daughter in Tolkien’s world. She’s been a fantastic mum so far, and I hope it only gets better from here
