Still only the same three chicks. The two hens have abandoned the nests now, so there won't be any more. I'm afraid I may have committed an error in moving two hens and two nests into the mama barn: although I gave each hen a live chick and put their nests as far apart as possible, now both hens are trying to cover all three chicks. The chicks don't seem to have a preference at this point but I assume they will soon imprint on one or the other, and then what?

Thanks for the update. I am trying to catch up with all my reading. I do plant for the birds and the butterflies. My gardnes are for them.
If you post a photograph of a bug and I know what your bug is I would be happy to tell. I am learning too. I am surrounded with field guides!
Have a great start to Autumn.

Aimee, One has to make a mistake to learn with chooks. At least the 3 chicks will always have 'someone' to car for them.
