New Chicks
We have new baby chicks. There were two hens sitting when the ice storm came and one left her nest and teamed up with the other and by golly they hatched out seven yesterday. While they were sitting other hens stopped in and laid also so there are 14 leftover eggs. One hen is still sitting on eggs while one is on chicks and then they switch off. They sure have it going on. I moved them from the nest boxes which are open to a cage with security. Those chicks are just too cute and so small; but then the eggs are only slightly bigger than a marble. Katie is still chasing Roscoe the rooster but not as bad. Hopefully she will grow out of this but, I doubt it.
