I put the black hen and her babies in the pen with the other baby chicks yesterday. It was a mistake she was mean to all the other chicks so I had to get down on my hands and knees and crawl in the pen to catch her. She is now in the pen with the adult chickens and getting a taste of what she put the baby chicks thro, when you place a new bird in the pen even if she has been gone for only 5 weeks the other birds give her a chase for a day or two.
I really thought she would be ok in the small chicken's pen but I was wrong. I will need the coop that her and her babies were in on the start for a new hen that will hatch this week.
I really enjoy my chickens, My wise Aunt Betty said one time you have to have a reason to get out of bed when you get old and my chickens are my reason to get up in the morning.

I can't wait to get my coffee in the morning and the paper to read.
I skip right by the front page and look to see who died! How morbid can I be!
I wish I had been there to help you with the little hen. I am glad you did not hurt yourself!
You've made me think about all the many reasons I have to "get up in the morning". Right now I'm taking a break from a little project I thought about last night and planned for today - cleaning out four years of pine needles and leaves from the far reaches of my back yard. Whew. And to think I was looking forward to it!!!
I agree that chickens are a really good reason to get up each day!
Such fun and rewarding too
