Final chicks of the year

chicks Sept 17 1

The eggs that we gave to the broody hen three weeks ago hatched today, as did the ones we put in the incubator. The three chicks under the hen, along with the mother hen herself, have been moved to the quail house where they are better protected from predators. We have also given the 5 incubator chicks to the hen as well. She adopted them immediately. Mother and babies are all doing well.
