Chickwatch...

While these little people continue to grow in their cosy brooder... (these were actually from the 20th so more shots soon!)


These even littler people hatched under clever broody-chook Dolly on Saturday. They ventured out of their house properly today and I managed to get a few pics!






They really are teeny weeny as they are bantam chickens and it's so lovely to see Dolly looking after them so carefully. I'm definitely a convert to the natural way of hatching!

Great chick pix.My new brood (2 spangled hamburgs, 2 light brahmas and 2 red caps) arrived on Mother's Day. What breed is your 'mother' hen? I have a similar looking one that arrived as an unnamed gift chick. She is now 11.

Dolly is a Partridge Pekin and is a real sweetie! 11 is amazing for a chicken!!
