I just checked in on the babies. They're quarter-chickens, essentially, their feathers are coming in nicely, toobz! They're very happy but want back outside all the time now. Greedy little hens the poor yellow chick has lost use of one eye unfortunately but she's a trooper!

Do they need their mom at this point?

Oh no, they become self-sufficient within mere weeks of hatching. And we bought these little girls at a local feed store to boost our hen numbers. They're young teens at this stage. They'll be roaming with the others in about a month, maybe two.
