I think we all can agree that one of the best surprises in the world is when you come home to find hatched baby chicks that you weren't expecting!
One of my hens apparently had a hidden nest in the coop; she's sitting on about 20 eggs and since yesterday, 8 have hatched so far! One or two are pipping right now and I'm sure there will be more arriving soon!
It's funny because just yesterday I was wishing that some eggs would hatch soon because I mean, who doesn't love baby chicks? I haven't been able to satisfy my egg hatching cravings due to limited coop space.
And now that these chicks have hatched, I need to give them away/sell them before they get bigger and overcrowd the coop! (eta: message me if you're interested in them)
And of course, here are the pictures! Enjoy! (all of them are easter egger mixes)
You can just see protective mum's evil stink eye
This one was the only one who would cooperate and let me take pictures
proud mum and her babies
Gotta love the cute little fluffy butts
