Update on chicken mama

The chicks are about a week old now. All seem to be doing really well. Mama has been teaching them about scratching the dirt, eating feed out of the feeder and drinking water out of the waterer.

I took a quick video a few days ago.

This morning we woke up to the sound of rain and thunder.  The first rain for our area in quite some time.  Our first thoughts were about mama and the babies being out in the elements.

"She's got to get those babies in the coop," said my husband. I agreed. When my son got up, he said something very similar.

So my son went out to check on everyone. When he returned he said mama and all the babies were inside the coop.

The chicks figured it out - hooray! Now everyone can stay nice and dry.
