Anastasias gone missing again!

Anatasia is a beauty and her chicks are adorable  

Lovely chicks and what a pretty hen.

I think they do so well when you can let little chicks out to free range, they get street wise :happy:

Well the chicks are now 24 days old and Anastasia is taking them further a field and teaching them how to scavenge.  They've joined the garden free rangers.

The weather has turned cold now and Anastasia being only a bantam herself is finding it difficult as they have grown to brood them all when they need a warm up.  I thought one was looking a little less active than the others yesterday and sure enough this morning I found it sadly dead outside the run.  Still Anastasia has done well to keep them all so well up to now.  Let's hope the remaining 8 survive this cold spell.

Here's some photos of her, the chicks and dad, Nicholas II altogether this morning in the garden.
