SURPRISE!!!

I have two baby chicks! The remaining bared rock hen is mothering them.

They are outside and I usually let my flock run during the day but I will need to get them into the coop and find a way to keep them there until they are bigger.

It's ok if they are with a mom to free range with a flock... in my profile picture there's my hen with 3 chicks that free range from 3 days old... and they grew really fast like that and their mom is sooo furious and don't let anyone near them.... and if any bigger and stronger hen gets in her way she drags them to a safer area and warn tge others from approching... but these sleep in their own coop... because some rats can easily go into the main coop and snap them... in the pic they were 2 days old but now they're over a month
