Unsecure chicken perches

Just thought I'd let you know how the babies are getting on. I've got 6 three week old pekin bantams inside under the heat lamp. They are all happy, healthy, eating and drinking well and happy to be picked up and eat from my hand. My guess so far is two boys and a four girls, who are getting stronger with more feathers every day! I've also got 3 two week old's outside with their mummy. Daisy boots is a cracking mum-really looking after her litle'uns and amazing me with her natural ability and instinct. I had 15 eggs to start with so i think i've been dead lucky (especially as a first timer) to end up with 9 healthy happy babies. Sorry to gush but i think we've all got the best hobby in the world and anyone who doesn't keep chickens is seriously missing out!!! Who'd want any other animal? they cant give you fresh eggs for breakfast!!!

Congratulations It is a wonderful thing to see chicks growing up, when they lay their first eggs you'll feel massively protective over them!
