Our New Chicks (Well not Ours ...But the hens!)

We had a clucky chook sitting on eggs, as we have roosters there was the possibility that they were fertilized but when we tested them we didn't see anything inside them so we left the mother hen to sit on the eggs not knowing if they were fertilized or not at the beginning of the time she was sitting she would come out when I fed the chooks but as time went on she started not coming out and not long after the eggs hatched(I on morning went out and there were the chicks!)they were hard to see though because she was under the play house where all the rubbish that we need to take to the dump was but we managed to see them and a few days ago she started taking the chicks out and now they are really big and hard to catch!( they grow up real fast!)


 


 


 


 


 


 


 

ßThis is me holding snuggly and squirrel. Can you see their egg tooth on the end of the their beaks? They use the egg tooth for getting out of their egg when they hatch. they disapear a about day later.
