As I mentioned, there have been some new additions to the farm! Six little chicks! We have three yellow and three brown, but we’re not sure of their sexes yet as it’s a bit hard to tell until they’re older. Hopefully they’re mostly female because we’ve already got two roosters and don’t really need any more.
They are three weeks old now and mother hen will not start distancing herself from them for about another three weeks, at which point they will be ready to start venturing into the big wide world. The females will remain with us and free-range with the rest of the hens. Any males are likely to be found new homes.
Chirp-chirp!
) I grabbed my camera to take a few shots while we played. I’m slowly becoming more comfortable with the various manual settings on my camera, though by no means am I anything but amateur! Still fun to play though.
