Re: Baby Chicks


Great names Mags - been trying to think of non gender names as I won't know the sex until they're older. So if you don't mind that will be their names!!

The Dad is an Australorp.

These two have Matilda the Lohmann Brown as mum.

The other one (pics below) has a cuckoo Maran (Mavis) as Mum.

Re: Baby Chicks


Managed to get a few more pics this afternoon. Martha has abandoned the rest of the eggs so I assume she decided nothing was going to happen.

They are already into their chick crumbs and water - just copy Mum and learn so fast. I am so pleased with them.

This is chick number three - has a white bib! What about a name for this wee one then?


Here are the three of them together with Martha.


and now just some more pics.





Enjoy!
