Hi , my first set of chickies are 6 weeks old and it is such a great experience watching them grow and mama teaching them all things chicken, and getting a whole new set of chicken buddies.
I have just put another lot of eggs under another broody.
I wish you good luck and enjoy those little...
The Australorp were either blue , black or splash colour so that's probably why, I bought fertilised eggs hence the three types of chickies.
I will definitely post in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the input!!

The first Australorp is quite a bit bigger than the other. Hoping for a hen as she is such a sweetie.
One of my Ladies Harriet (a BA) decided to go broody so I put a dozen fertile eggs under her, 4 australorp, 4 dark barred Plymouth Rock and 4 Araucana.
6 hatched and are now 2 weeks old.
2 of each hatched, she is such an amazing mum and it's a joy to watch.
