Cheeky chicks update

Just wanted to share how well the chicks are getting on, born 7th September, now 11 weeks and looking good. Yummy has stopped calling them to food so they must be "weaned" so to speak!

My Gold Laced Orpington Samson he is a lovely boy, couldn't resist adding this one, he is massive

Sure is Munty, its bitter here but the sun is out and its melting fast. Ice was 1/2 inch thick on the pond today and drinkers all frozen up, just spent 1/2 an hour redoing them all :?

7 September? They are the same age as my Amberlinks then! Although I was told by the hatchery they are all hens, I'm sure there are 3 cockerels in there!
