Take a look at these monsters



The picture doesnt do justice to just how small these chicks are. The bottle top drinkers might give you an idea.

2 are 3 days old, 1 two days and the third joined us yesterday. Mum decided today it was time for everyone to go outside. No I am worried because they dont seem to want to go in.

Pekin chicks like mum, but brought in as fertile eggs. So she is a surrogate mum.

Way too cute, definately makes me want to have a hen hatch out some chicks next year. But if you don't mind me asking, how do you plan to vaccinate them?

you can only vaccinate chicks hatched out from an incubator, as they should not have any contact with any other chickens.
Most hobbyist or pure breed breeders dont vaccinate chickens anyway .
