Yes on Kentucky Derby day and Cinco De Mayo day Denise aka Freebie broody Buff Orpington aka Buffy hatched her foster chick. Only one hatched, the other 2 eggs didn't make it. The baby was very vocal when Buffy nudged it-it still had part of the shell still attached. Buffy seems to be a good mother. This is Denise's first homegrown chick. A sort of pre-mothers gift. Pics will follow I am sure. Way to go Denise and Buffy-Mary aka Hotwings.

I am not letting myself go back down to the barn till morning now. It's kinda a bummer that only 1 chick made it, but I only had 3 eggs. And the breed will be a surprise.
 
Awwww, how CUTE is that!!!! I have a broody...she is only 3 days on the nest. I just know...17 days from now, I will be " sleeping with the chickens" LOL
I cant waite to see how it turns out. Oh, and my Frizzle hens are setting as well. 2 hens share one nest, with 20 or so eggs!!

I know it was way cool. When I left, it was still as pictured. I just thought I should leave them be for now.


justusnak. good luck with your hatches as well.
 
Thanks Freebie....I am trying as much as possible, to just stay away from the hens. Only to water, feed, and check on thier health. Waiting for the day I walk in there to baby peeps!! I take the camera every time I go, just in case! LOL
