Our new chicks are about 1 month old now and soon will join the other chicken who is the only one left now as two stray hunting dogs came up here and shook and broke the necks of the other 2.
Lee has had a strange life the last few months, being the ONLY chicken. She follows us around like a dog and often spends time right at the doorstep, keeping safe.
I hope to keep the new chicks locked in the hen house for a few days while Lee will be free outside to sleep on her preferred ledge at the back of the house.
Then I will let the chicks out to the short run so they can meet each other but still be protected. We'll see how this goes...
