Valentines Chickies - burning cuteness

[trystinn]

Today the chicks are exploring their broody hutch a little, then ducking back under Mamma to get warm. Its chilly out there (44F)!

From the looks of it, we have two blacks, two mottled and two whites (yellow chicks = white or Splash chickens):

Its burning cuteness. Each and every day. And each and every time. :D

Aw. I bet chicks that get to be raised by their mama are better-adjusted chickens.

Given that chicks with mammas (be they fostered or natural) can mimic mamma's behavior, they seem to settle in to their chickeness better I'd have to agree with you. Thankfully, fostering is pretty easy and mammas will raise chicks different colors and breeds from themselves without blinking.

So beautiful!

I'm glad I've taken the time to go back through some LJ posts. It's always so much fun to read yours.

I'm glad you're back, too. I know how crazy busy it is taking care of a recent transplant. I tried to take care of Tiger with two Chinese exchange students! Both my mother and my aunt have had their hips recalled, so now we're waiting for them to make a decision about getting them replaced. :(

We've 24 chicks at present and I'm hoping a few more of the feathered ladies will get inspired soon to brood.
