First chick hatched at the farm. We let mom stay in the coop with the other chickens. She did great for being a first time mom! She is feisty, protective, and only had to be put back on her eggs once. I think she had a momentary lapse of memory. As soon as I put her back on her eggs, she settled in and did what a good momma is supposed to do.
The momma is the only survivor of a fox attack last year. Out of 12 hens that were 4 months old, she found a way to survive. I am proud of "Little Girl" who has now became "Momma Girl".
