Chicks have settled in !

One week old chicks!

One week on and the chicks are looking good and very lively they have managed to get through the cold snap! Their first feathers are also coming through.

The chicks have settled in well to their home under the heat lamp in the stables. They have taken to the chick crumb well and I have introduced them to the water. Though the weather is horrifically cold outside they're still warm and hopefully I can guide them through this cold snap! They were born on the first day of spring and we have 7 chicks in total with a hatch rate of 59 % (83% for Mill fleur and 33% for cuckoo).
