A word of warning, the biggest loss I have in chicks is due to other hens killing them, and to snakes getting the babies. Mine are free range so I have much less control than you do. I actually have a hen with three chicks right now, way out of the season. I put a box out for them under some brush and the mom is taking them in there Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-9509674091161713352015-11-12T00:38:18.861+02:002015-11-12T00:38:18.861+02:00Happy Anniversary and what a great post.
