Several weeks ago we got a dozen fertile eggs






from one of the poultry club leaders for the preschool classroom. They were placed in an incubator and 21 days later 7 chicks hatched, under the watchful eyes of about 60 kids. They stayed in the classroom for a few weeks, then we brought them home to join our flock. Last night we let them out of their small fenced off area in the coop to join the other birdies. A few of the Barred Rocks have really taken to these littlies as mother. I thought I would share pics of them today.
