New Babies on Roost (pic)

[Biddieacres]

Mother hen decided at exactly 3 weeks they should start sleeping up on the roost.
I was surprised when I looked in and saw them all up there. She usually had them in the corner in a nest underneath her.
It was so cute I had to share. Oh, and tell me that baby in the middle is a rooster????

And yes I am guessing the middle one is a rooster!!

Oh my goodness. That is precious!!

Awww.. that is precious! She looks a little uncomfortable though!

Definitely a roo in the middle!

Awww, how sweet is that. I have never seen a baby chick that young with a red comb...that has to be a little roo. So cute.

That is so cute! Our broodies have never done that.

And I agree, the chick in the middle looks like a rooster.

I didn't think she looked too comfortable either! LOL and she balances all night like that! The roo in the middle even has little waddles at 3 weeks and was born with that red comb. I never knew they were red so early.
