I've enjoyed the hatch off. It has been fun.
Yes, in the video I should have said she had a chick not a baby. I was just so excited to see...
Well Licorice did just fine for her second hatching. She is a great mama and I just love to hear her cluck ant the little chicks and watch them come running. We gave Licorice 4 of the 18 eggs a friend had given us to use for our first incubation with a homemade cooler incubator. I took these...
