These little ones didn't quite have all their feathers when we first put them out, but apart from that they are like mini-chickens, very cute and addictive to watch!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-21334577267272166892012-04-27T04:30:41.755+10:002012-04-27T04:30:41.755+10:00Bless...just look at how small they are :)Bless...just look at how small they are :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861108457109878599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-29395597232908900462012-04-25T13:14:44.757+10:002012-04-25T13:14:44.757+10:00Hope they all do OK.
