Hiding behind mother’s skirts

One of the chicks found a hole in the chicken wire this morning. It got out but couldn’t work out how to get back. I caught it and returned it to its frantic mother. She is now keeping all 11 chicks very close.

The mother hen is a Bantie as is the
Cockerel father so these little chicks will never grow very large. Bantam birds also have unusual feathery feet. Click below
