Awwwww 🥰💕

So glad the mums are caring for their wee charges - they will keep the chicks warm, I have had chicks this time of year here. Right now I have a hen sitting on 2 eggs - it will be very cold when those babies hatch in about 10 days. Likely have some snow by then, but mama will keep them warm...

Agreed - the hens should be protected from the rest of the flock, I do keep my broody mums in the nest box they choose, but I screen it off so that the rest can’t mess with her and the chicks.

My 6 month old silkie hatched out 4 eggs in Oct, 2 eggs from older 2 yr old hens, 2 eggs from 6 month old hens. The chicks r 11 weeks this week. I don't think age affects eggs too much, as long as they are fertile they should hatch!

Good mama!

Awwww 🤗 babies are so cute. Love that they know to run and scratch about so young!

Three is good! Sorry about the egg. Your hen sure is pretty and hope to see updated photos of the chicks!

Sorry about the chick, sure hope the other egg hatched ok for u.

How many eggs was she sitting on?

So awesome! Can't wait for baby pics 🤗

Always a good plan!

Can't wait to see what she hatched out!

Hahaha yep for sure!

My wee Henny Penny had these huge nasty poops 🤪 very smelly!

You laugh (hahaha) but chick poop is gross !!! I am sure my horses aren't thrilled when they get some of those juicier nuggets :) But they sure are cute all cuddled up there - mum on the look out like a good mama.

I took my gal off once a day because she was very young (had only started laying eggs a month or so earlier) and first time. Also I only had 4 eggs under her. It all went splendidly and I now have 4, 6-week old crazy chickies running around! pooping on hay.... getting in my office.... :)

Will u try again?

I was so paranoid my broody silkie Cochin X would pull a runner like that so I kept her sister broody as well as a backup 😆 But she behaved and hatched all 4, they r 6 weeks this Thursday. One thing I did was to get her off the nest daily for about 15 min each day to eat and poop. She wouldn't...

Wow nice hen, awesome photo too 😊. She obviously has an awesome location to hang out.

Sounds awesome! Well make sure u keep us posted with your egg journey 😄 I look forward to seeing your success. This is Henny Penny and her 4 chicks - at 5 weeks they nearly fit under her!
