Chicks learning how to be chickens

The mama hens are starting to teach the babies how to chicken!  They have been making quite a mess and ruckus in the process - but it is so cute!

We got 12 fertilized eggs and this is the end result - 6 chicks!  We had a hard time trying to figure out if they are hens or cockerels when they were a day old, but I think some are girls.  We will know for sure in about 5 more weeks!

We plan to buy 6 more baby chicks and tossing them (Not literally!) into the mix in hopes that the mamas take them in as well.

Thanks for watching!
