Blue Cochin Hen Hatched First batch of eggs

Our blue cochin hen (her name is Timmy because our son always thought she was a rooster when she was young) hatched 7 little chicks yesterday.  She is just now a year old and the best mother hen that we have. They are all very healthy and we have spent hours watching her teach her new chicks all about the world.

They're very interesting to watch, aren't they? Better than the television, in my opinion!

Congrats! thumbsup.gif

Absolutely, much better than TV. We spend hours a weeks just watching or chickens and chicks
