Congrats, TG!!!!!!!!I have a baby!!!!! It is dark grey and darlingMy daughter and I got home from work and first stop was the coops. I could hear cheeping and I just sort of lifted Julie's chest saw the empty shellSo "Operation Move a Mama" happened a little late. 4 of 5 remaining eggs were pipped and they were all chirping as we carried out the move. Julie settled in on that chick and let us put the remaining eggs back under her and snuggled right back down on them so all is well. Meanwhile back in the original coop Gracie Belle was VERY concerned about the whole thing but settled back on her eggs pretty quickly too and we are hoping that out of sight out of mind will be the pattern she follows.
Julie Taylor in the Handicoop, so named because we built it for my disabled rooster, Curley, who passed before I met you all.She is sitting on on 1 chick and 5 eggs that will hopefully be chicks by tomorrow morning...Christmas themed names. Liz if you want to step into the wonderful world of Silkies I can hook you up.
Can't wait to see pics!
Thanks, but I'm going to pass on silkies! Yes, they are beyond beautiful! But, 3 broody hens (and possibly 2 more, if Cindy and Maryanne take after their moms) are puh-lenty! Plus, I like watching my chickens fly. Rousseau can be my one designer hen.
