Fig the Orpington and her chicks #chickens #babychicks #backyardchickens #freerangechickens

Fig the Orpington as a 1st time broody hen is doing a tremendous job. We have been so lucky with this year's new brood hens. Only Plum has failed to brood (yet!).

Fig was very cautious after hatching her chicks. She remained very close to the coop for the first week, so much so I was getting a bit worried that the chicks were not benefitting from the whole orchard in the same way as the other clutches of chicks.

I needn't have panicked as she's roaming everywhere now and particularly likes to spend time in what we call "The Day Room" at the other end of the orchard.

Don't forget that we have a UK online poultry equipment shop
