Unsecure chicken perches

[Old Speckled Hen]

Exactly 21 days on from my broody legbar sitting on five eggs we have five chicks

Two will be vorwerks, two vorwerk/legbars (her own eggs) and one a vorwerk/black rock.

I put 7 under her but sadly I found one chick in mum's food container four days ago and this morning although hatching had started there was a dead chick in the egg.

Photos when they are not quite so new.

Well done Flash.Will he be meeting his progeny ? Muppet and her 1 chick have been moved into the run, but so far Dandelion has paid no attention to his offspring.

Jools, I've just looked at your blog.......those chicks are gorgeous. I'm worried about EVERYthing that might happen to mine.....................

First few days and I can relax....

Ah the joys of motherhood! I do relax after a few days, but still check on them every few hours to make sure there's been no mishaps!

Thanks Redwing.

Vorwerks are renowned for firing blanks but all seven eggs were fertile, I'm jolly pleased.

Beautiful and lovely Mum, being shut in the cellar must have improved his fertility
