The chicks are a week old now. They are coming out of the coop with mom every day.
She keeps a watchful eye on them and rushes them away if she thinks anyone is getting to close.
They have the "alert" pose mastered.
She has been teaching them to forage since the third day.
She has escorted them as far as about 50 yards from the coop. You may also notice how they colors have changed since birth. The black one is getting a yellow chest. The yellow one is getting more black strips.
