The Chicken Ladies Meet the New Chicks!

in #chickens6 years ago

Just a really quick flock update. I hope you are all having a great Saturday so far! This morning we brought the chicks out to meet the remaining girls in the greenhouse. The chicks aren't quite ready for cold weather just yet so in here is perfect for a few hours.

I was also hoping that it would cheer the girls up. It has been a crazy week since the fox attack, they are used to being outside so this must be a drag for them.

They are just over 5 weeks old. They are Olive Eggers, but it looks like a Chantecler may have slipped in there!

We let them out a bit aways from the girls just in case, Reba spotted them right away and came running to them

Looks like Reba and Adele want to be Mommas ❤ The other 4 girls want nothing to do with them haha!

I left them to do their thing for the morning, I have already peeked in twice...they are scratching and pecking away with Reba and Adele hovering by. A little peace after a rough week❤

Awe 💜 i hope the introductions continue to go well!! What sweeties 😙 Blessings Karen!! Enjoy your day too 🙏

Blessings to you as well @yogajill <3 <3 <3

They sure are sweeties!!

Awe 💜 looking forward to watching them grow!

That is cool that the meeting went so well! When they are much littler like that, it often goes the other way. I am glad the chicks have protectors. It will make it easier when the time for integration comes.

Turns out they needed them! Penelope and Billie kept trying to bully them. We will try again tomorrow!!

D'awww! I'm glad you had a good flock day. 💜

It was welcome after this week's disaster! <3

Reba and Adele seem like sweethearts! May I link this article and feature your username @karenfoster in the next issue of the Weekly Homesteading Newsletter? Let me know, thanks!

Reba is the sweetest, I was surprised with Adele. They both stepped up though, they love them lol. You can see it <3
I would love that, thank you @kiraantonoviche!

When they were little they looked like chickens at my place, but after a big chicken they are more rounded but our cock in indonesia is more longer .. haha
Nice day @karenfoster

Happy Sunday! This comment is to inform you that your article has been linked and featured in the most recent Weekly Homesteading Newsletter! Thank you and have a great day!

This post put a smile on my face...because when I think about my future flock of chickens...I wonder what names they will have! Lol... :D
