Update on my newest babies

[ajsflock]

Unfortunately, Cinnamon passed away. I had her cremated and am waiting on the ashes.
Attached is a picture I drew of her being greeted by my late rabbit at the rainbow bridge. We tried our best but I’m afraid she failed to thrive.

Our other three chicks have grown a LOT! The two barred babies ( Scully and Peppercorn, nicknamed crow and raven) like to flutter into each other and forage outside. I’m a little worried one may be a roo- but I’ll be posting a separate thread to see if anyone can help me figure that out.

I have to admit my favorite chicken of all 9 of them has to be Maggie (Nutmeg).
She’s tinier than our barred rocks and is Cinnamon’s sister.
I love her so much. She always sunbathes, makes dust baths, and cuddles against the bigger chicks, while making the cutest chirping sound I’ve ever heard. She also is growing some of the prettiest feathers!!
Attached a photo of her as well, sunbathing under our daisies.
+ a few more pics of the chicks!

I tried introducing the babies to their big sisters (the 6 California whites) but they were being quite mean! Any tips on how to socialize them with each other?

Sorry you lost one.

Generally you need to pen the young ones where they can be seen through a fence for a week or two before starting supervised mingling.
