They've grown so much! It never ceases to amaze me.I fed my chicks scrambled eggs inside their brooder, and the rest of the flock tried to break down the door!
They finally gave up, except Hannah.

Chicks are much more independent, and my little chick that was pecked and left for dead was so much better today. She didn't cry all the time, was able to keep up with her hatchmates, but did take a quick nap at one point...

I'm so pleased that she (?) is doing better.
Martha is a wonderful mother.

I'm so relieved your little one that was pecked is doing so much better. She’s looking good and clearly a smart baby - ensconced behind the feeder like that she can get right back to eating when she wakes up
Ferdy and Penelope had a sibling who hatched nearly a week later than them. They pecked it to death within 8 hours of hatching so it always pulls on my heartstrings when I hear a similar story.
Is Martha a first time mom?
