that is so totally awesome!!! My girls go broody at the drop of a dime! Luckily for the past 3 months they haven't been!!!! Daisy is fabulous!!! congrats!!!!! What is that cute white chick?
PS how many boys/girls did you get out of the 4 splits you hatched and what sex was that cochin -gosh I loved that cochin!
oh, and I don't really know what the white chick is... I got the eggs from a local farm with all reddish/buff chickens. I was desperate to find some possibly fertile eggs I just got them and took my chances.
Funny thing is another hen sat on those eggs for nearly 3 weeks, then I cleaned the coop and moved the nest 3 days before the hatch was due. She went back on the nest, but when I checked in the morning she was gone and the eggs were cold, but I left them there hoping for the best. Well, Daisy got broody again and took over sitting on the nest. I didn't expect a hatch really, and was shocked when I found that baby in there last night!
Daisy and the cochin (no name) were pals.. and they looked so odd together: small little black silkie and the big fluffy cochin hanging out together!
