There are nearly 3 weeks since the chicks hatched and they’re coming along nicely.
They are well on the way to feathering up.
Five Speckled Sussex chicks. I have no idea how to sex them, so no clue yet what I have.
They’re in the barn, under the heat lamp, for the time being and I’ll move them outside into a covered run in a month or so.
I thought of you and your chicks as I read an article in the NZ Herald this morning. There was a picture of a huge egg produced by a Brown Shaver in Maungatapere, Northland. It was over 7cm long and 18cm round. Ouch! Poor cearc.
