I gave them the benefit of the doubt that they are new and just dont know the ins and outs yet.
The chicken is my sons. I beleive she is a cream-leg-bar. She was hatching them the week of the hurricane and we ended up putting her whole habitat inside a very large oak tree and then wrapped it in avian netting. She absolutely refused to go anywhere else! So she and the chicks made it fine and now she brings them to my window every morning to wake me up Lol
