New chicks after two weeks

I got new chickens two weeks ago.  They seem to have integrated themselves into the rest of the flock just fine. 
The chicks still stay pretty close to the momma hen.  Once in a while one will get separated and squawk like crazy until it's reunited with the rest of the group.  They go all over the yard now. 
I've had at least two occasions when they've made it out of the yard.  One night I went out to close the coop and only one of the chicks was in there.  I searched the yard but couldn't find the rest of them.  So I started walking the outside perimeter of the fence.  It didn't take long to find the mother hen sitting on top of the other four hens.  I'm not sure how they ended up on the wrong side of the fence.  My guess is that they went under the gate.  Another time I came home to find the chicks in the yard and the mother hen on the other side of the fence.  I'm not sure how to explain that one.

  1. "Great post on RPE pond liners I love how these liners combine strength, flexibility, and UV resistance, making them perfect for long-lasting pond solutions. The reinforced material ensures that they hold up well against punctures and environmental stress, which is crucial for any pond project. It’s also nice to see how RPE liners are eco-friendly and help with maintaining water quality. Whether it’s for a small garden pond or a larger landscaping project, RPE liners really seem to be a reliable option. Thanks for sharing these insights!"

  2. I’ve been using Garden bags for planting for a while now, and they’ve completely transformed my gardening experience! They’re so convenient, especially when space is limited. The breathable fabric promotes better root growth and prevents overwatering, which has made a noticeable difference in the health of my plants. I love how easy they are to move around, whether I’m rearranging my garden or bringing plants indoors during bad weather. Has anyone else tried these bags for growing vegetables or flowers? Would love to hear more tips and experiences!
