Today she's out there bok bok bokking on her nest - I think some of the eggs will hatch today since a few of the bator eggs are rocking and chirping!  So exciting!

One of the Ameraucana chicks hatched overnight under Smokey - I saw part of the blue egg & the chick's fuzzy butt & legs under Smokey's wing.

 

A few of the bator eggs are chirping - so once they hatch & dry off I'll put them under Smokey too.

No one has hatched in the bator :(

I found one AM under Smokey that is dried off and adorable.  While I was taking the pic I noticed a Wellie that has pipped - so maybe she will hatch two eggs!

This morning I found 2 Wellies and the 1 Ameraucana under her!   I couldn't get good pics - she is definitely keeping them close to her body.

I just had 2 broodies hatch out babies a few weeks ago. Neither has heat, both are doing fine. My one broody however, took 24 and 25 days to hatch. The other broody hatched hers on time. It was so cool to see and watch them do it the way nature intended. Today, they were outside with their mommas. So much fun to watch them learn all about the outside. Now if only they could figure out how to get back up in the coop.

 

Congrats on the hatches!

At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.

Welsummers are sexable a hatch, so you can do that now! http://welsummers.blogspot.com/p/chicks.html

I have five hens and two pullets- one seven year old red star, Luna, one white leghorn, Sage, one SLW, Pepper, one adorable fluffy EE, Bedazzle, and one black star, Buckbeak. My two pullets are Nutella, my wheaten marans, thirty five weeks, (who is yet to lay an egg!), and her best friend, Sammy, seventeen weeks.
