Chicks born 21st Aug 2010

About 3 days old let me introduce you to Miss Lulu who was looked after by mum Fluffy who didnt watch over her and she slipped under the wire due to my not so perfect cage making. I found her in the morning cold and cherping loudly for her Mum. I took her and had to keep her warm for the day and try and teach her to eat and drink. By the end of the day she was cherrp cherrping very loudly and as night came and darkness I lifted the other Mum (unnamed but a twin so look so much alike I cant tell them apart)and put Lulu under her. To my delight Lulu was one of the gang and althought a little slower than the three was watching and feeding and New Mum was looking after her.
Now a family of four chicks, Lulu, Fifi, Polly and Rosie are cared for by their sarragate Mum. She is very vicious when you try and look under her. I have a very sore finger to prove it.

Keeping a watchful eye on her babies. Mum is a unknown breed but has a Bantam/Silky XX and the babies will be the same.
