  • Meanwhile 1 hen is sat on 7 eggs which may hatch in 2 weeks. She spent the whole morning of day 5 off the eggs but has otherwise nested well so I’ll candle in a couple of days but I expect a few will be viable.

    Candled day 9. Bit light so limited evidence but definitely some showing growth. Didn’t identify any movement yet, but some good air sacs. Here’s hoping for 2 or 3 to hatch.
    Currently have one rooster (1 year old) who I have separated from my 11 hens due to a couple becoming bare backed. He’s a softy and the hens often bully him. One is a fan of his and she sneaks in for cuddles every couple of nights. Not sure what to do with him longer term.

    So this one has taken to chest bumping their fellow welsummer brothers … so despite the nice pale comb, I suspect a boy!

    I’ve now seen one of the buff orps doing the same! Argh hopefully not 4 boys out of 6!

    She turned out to be a very pretty girl and a good layer too!

    2 weeks old. The welsummers and light Sussex growing rapidly and the others not far behind. Some short flights already taking place. Another trip outside yesterday but raining today so indoors.
