Description
These wild chicks are only a few days old. They are out of their nest for the first day to take a peek at the big world out there. The wild hen is seen in the background. they do not venture away from her at this point. The middle chick seemed to actually pose for the photo and the other two were looking at me also. I felt honored to be the first unusual thing in their new world.Later in the day they were foraging with the hen learning to peck at food that she would point at with her beak. They gather under the hen to rest from time to time. they survive with he protection on the ground for a couple of weeks until they learn to flutter up tiny limbs to perch under her wings at night with other wild chickens and birds high in the trees.Copyright 2015 Jan Gelders Photography
