Daisy - a silver birchen - has 6 chickens at the moment. To keep them safe the family is in a big rabbit hutch up near the house. Unlike the silkie mums who are very protective of their babies and not keen on sharing them at all, Daisy's little mob have learnt from their mum that 'people are good'. The chickens are nearly a fortnight old now, and this morning they not only came racing towards me for to get brekky treats - rice and corn - but the literally jumped into my hand as I lowered the spoon into the cage!!
Daisy hatched eggs from several chooks, including Poppy, Vovo and Hetty, seen here with Florenzo (purchased as Florence, but gave the game away by starting to crow!!)
