Egg Hatching

[CrealCritter]

I put the young chickens in the coop with the roo and layers yesterday morning. I gave them water in a gallon waterer and they get feed out of the hanging feeder. They haven't left the coop yet and huddle and hang around in a group of 5.

This morning when FB opened the chicken door to the fenced in yard. No chickens came out. They always can't wait to come out in the morning. FB couldn't figure out what was going on. So she opened the door at looked inside to find a line of chickens waiting to get out of the coop. At the front of the line and in front of the chicken door was 5 little chickens huddled together. Eventually the huddle moved off to the side and all the big chickens bolted out the door. It was just funny the way she described it to me.

I never introduced batter chickens to an established flock. It's always been naturally hatched chickens with momma hen as the protector. So I had no idea what to expect

Baby chickens got brave and went out in the yard. The 5th one somehow made it into the other fenced in yard. So I had to go catch it and drop it over the fence with the other 4. Then ofcourse they had no sense to get in the chicken house, so we could close them all up for the night. We had to catch all 5 and put them in the chicken door. Those little buggers are healthy and fast
