Last week we had our first batch of chicks in the south coop. It is difficult to count, but we think there are nine chicks. Ken has created a floor nest box with a fenced in run for the hen, so she can sit quietly for the required three weeks without distractions or interference from other hens trying to add eggs to her clutch. And his system seems to be working as we had four batches last season and our first of this season last Friday.
And this week in the north coop we have a black hen with a batch of peepers. It MUST be spring!
