4 little chickadees


4 days ago the chicks started hatching. The first didn't make it but the next 4 were healthy. finally yesterday another was born but there were problems during hatching and she/he bled a bit and didn't make it through the night. The chicks are all light sussex and are varying shades of yellow/white. they are adorable. Unfortunately the broody can be a little rough and heavy so i am looking into another breed for brooding next time. I'm sure it will ease my stressing over it all.

I'll be trying my hand at feather sexing today.
