The chicks are very late in hatching… normally, a chicken has a 21 day gestation. Our first chick hatched at 22 days, three more hatched at 24 days! I don’t hear any peeps coming from the other two, but they had moving chicks in them last week. Our other broody mama is due on Friday… her batch didn’t look as good. One, maybe two moving chicks out of 6 when we candled them last. (Oh, and another one of our chickens has gone broody, but we don’t have any room for her to sit. So, I’ll try to discourage her 🙂 )
The arrows are pointing to the crack in the shell where the 4th chick is starting to hatch.
they are soo cute!! what are they mixed with?
Wonderful! I just love the sound of the little chicks…
So glad to hear the garden is doing well.
Have a great day….
Any pictures of that new rose bush?

Our main rooster is an Ameraucana. We also have a silkie rooster, but he doesn’t get much play. 🙂
The 4 chicks that have hatched so far have silkie mamas (one white and one grey), one black australorps, and one Welsummer. I’ll get a picture of the welsummer soon… she’s brown and yellow.. really cute!
