The grass was higher then them so I had to cut it more.She is a good first time mother
baby silkies first day out
An adventure!
Paradise for them! I love to see that. I've got a mom and babiez that really need to get out, but even a mouse could carry a baby away they are just too tiny. :(
What a treasure, it doesn't get any better than mom's watchful eye as her chicks explore the great out doors. Great pic...Hay
oh what a sweet pic
How fun! Beautiful birds - and gorgeous grass to play in!
The other silkie that was sitting on the ebay eggs is now helping raise the chicks of the black one.Her eggs from ebay new grew because they were in the mail system to long so I took them put her outside and she never went broody again so she is a helper to the other hen.Silkies are such good mothers and protectors of there little ones but they trust one another with there babies even the rooster.It was so cute tonight I checked on them and both hens were in the corner with a baby peeking out from under both of them.
Awww!
Babies are growing and they have two mama`s looking after them
What a cute family!
