The chicks have a new safe place to go outside. They were so excited. Once mom got the area checked out and felt the chicks were safe she dug a hole and rolled around in it cleaning herself. This probably was the first time she had alone time for about 6 weeks. It was like she was really enjoying herself and having some ME time.
This only took place after she had some run ins with the big hens I am worried what will happen when we let them loose in the big pen but that's not going to happen in the near future.
Just as I am typing this a large coyote just ran across the front lawn. I hate those critters. I ran and locked Simba up.

Awwww, leaving the nest already?? Must be fun watching them grow by the day! A coyote??? Wow, must have been exciting, I hope all your animals are kept in coyote proofenclosures!!

Nice setup to protect the chicks and their mother from the other chickens. Hope they get used to each other.
Bet that coyote was after a nice breakfast.
When it got cooler the mom rounded them up and took them inside. They still sleep under her.
I hope the animals are all safe. We certainly have everything fenced.
Thanks Donna
Yea I hope they get used to each other if not well time will tell.
Coyote have such a sly look as they kindof slink around.
