| Mama Trixie and chicks dine out for the first time. |
Having our own home grown brood of chicks is still the best thing ever.

Our chicks from this year are large and at the scruffy teenager stage now. I am just about ready to let them free range with the others and take their chances with the odd soaring buzzard and one of the cockerels is even starting to crow!
ReplyDeleteToo cute. I wish them lots of good little bugs and such.
ReplyDeleteelizabethm, We waited until I thought the chicks might be too big to slip under some hole in the fence.So far they are staying close to Mama and are all still around.
ReplyDeleteMama was not to happy this morning when our old dog who could care less about the chickens came walking by the chicks.She fluffed up and ran at the dog.The dog just looked at her with this look that said "Really? You are charging at me? The defender of the coop,chaser of raccoons and so old I would rather lie in the sun than chase you and your chicks."
ahhh we have a hen who we hope is broody!! If she is I can't wait to sneak some fertilized eggs in there!
ReplyDeleteLacy,Do you need fertile eggs? Come get some of mine if you need some.
