We moved the hen into the new coop along with her six chicks and all are doing great. She’s proving to be a superb surrogate mum. Three are light brown, three are dark grey, reflecting their Silkie/Marran parentage. So, here they are. I know, I know, other people’s baby pics are boring and they all look the same at that age…..

Hoped you’d blog the final head count. Well done to Mum! I’ve been picking off the wrigglies from the orchard and feeding them to my chooks. They turned up their beak at the Lily beetle tho’. Wonder why? HK
Oh, they are so beautiful! A sunny May morning and little chicks running around – life is good.
