I let Honey take her babies out of the confined space I had them in all week into the bigger run. And when that went well, I opened the big gate into the garden. Coco and Spice were laying eggs so she only had Ginger to contend with and Ginger could have cared less.
Which I just find AMAZING. Because Ginger was the BIGGEST pill and bully when it came to integrating Honey and Spice in with her and Coco. I really need to stop trying to figure out my hens. Because when I think one will be a problem, she's not and another one is. Go figure.

Honey and one of the babies enjoying tomatoes from the garden. |

The tomatoes are a little big for the babies but the seeds are JUST right! |

Her sister came over to see what was so yummy. |
|
Then Honey took them out into the garden. The babies are right in front of Honey but you can only see the blond one. |

Better photo of all three babies with their mama. |

And one of Ginger just lounging in the garden. Ginger is molting. I'm not seeing as many feathers being dropped so I think we're on the backside of this. But she's full of pin feathers so it's going to be a few more weeks before she's back to her old self. |
Just loved this post!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics! Looks like she's a good mom!
ReplyDeleteThose babies are so adorable. I am glad everything is going so well and Honey is such a good mum.
