Here's little Peep 3 weeks old out on his/her first outing into the big world. I was a little nervous about the reaction of the rest of the flock, but mama was wonderfully protective. One of my barred went after the baby, & mom went out after her clucking and saying 'get away'. After that everything has gone smoothly. So, its back into the big coop for them. The first thing mom did when she was outside was to take the longest dust bath I've ever seen

. It must have felt really good to her after all the time she's been nest bound. She was six weeks sitting on unfertile eggs, three weeks sitting on fertile eggs & three weeks isolated with little 'Peep' 'Peep' is a little Welsummer.

Cute. I looked at the first pic and thought whoa that momma has a dirty butt and then I saw the second pic and figured out why.
