Although still with their foster mother - a Wyandotte bantam they are fully feathered and quite able to live an independent life.However I'm planning to move them to a paddock of their own soon and I'm hoping the mother hen will ease the transition

Tomorrow more eggs are due to hatch so once again we will have tiny keets running around - well for a while at least
