:rose :frow After a bad start she has finally DONE IT! :D :lol: :cool: "JULIA" is a MOTHER :bouquet

FIVE beautiful CHICKS!!!! :love

There are four more eggs but.........???? I think she might give up on these as she is so taken with the little darlings, who are constantly demanding her attention.

I have just been out with them; they are all dry & fluffy & they have eaten & drunk (taught by mum)! I am so proud of her. :clap :clap :clap

:frow "Julia" & the chicks are doing well, all are eating & drinking well. Mum felt secure enough to want to go walk about a couple of times -- she didn't go far & was chatting to them all the time. :love

She took them off to bed early (late afternoon). They are in an old rabbit hutch so there are 2 compartments -- a closed,dark area for sleeping & an area which is open to the air & light but secure from everything else. I don't use any extra heat because Mum keeps them cosy & the nights now are mild. The other chickens are very interested in the new arrivals. not in a nasty way at all. They know it's family! :D I find that if you keep them all in sight of each other it's easier later when you want to integrate the chicks.

No I haven't forgotten about pics. I hope to get someone to look at the camera on Monday!

Good night everyone! :rainbow-sun
