The amount of awe is ridiculous. You know, I was expecting chipmunk babies out of the EE's .. haven't seen one yet.

I haven't a clue the exact count that's hatched as I can't see past her toes when I get her to raise up. Has a couple eggs that haven't hatched yet (as expected), but is still hunkered down on everyone. She's being a great Momma though. Babies are starting to venture out. I have food and water...

:woot yayy!!

12 eggs. I placed the food and water close by only for a few minutes. I've been concerned as to whether or not she's gonna see this through. Her reaction to the feed was a relief. She ate and drank and went back to clucking away. You can hear the others chipping away at the shells. Cream...

Three so far .. all EE babies, so time will tell. I am pretty sure those are muffs on the little one in the picture. I put her food near her and she's eating and just a yaking at them to come eat. I didn't even have the courtesy to ask what you were hatching @aart

Confirmed one hatched!! Still under mom drying and couple more shells are starting to zip. Today is day 20 as well. Pics in the morning. :jumpy

:love How precious!! How many eggs did she have?

Good idea .. I can't wait to share pictures :D .. lol

Same! .. Gerty seems to have been enjoying having food all to herself. Up to yesterday she's been cleaning her bowl. (I've been throwing in extra goodies to entice her .. the mac-n-cheese yesterday didn't do it for her, though). She sat tight .. I will say, though she grumbles a lot, she's not...

.. and more waiting. Judging by her food, she didn't come off the nest yesterday. We're in the home stretch! Now I just have to occupy myself instead of pestering her .. 3 more days.

Day 15 and she's still sitting! Getting grumpier and staying on the nest more. Candled the eggs a couple nights ago and it was amazing to see that even though inside the egg was mostly dark, you could see the babies moving. Most looked good except one that was clear, so pulled it leaving an even...

Weellll .. since you put it that way, it sounds like obvious management, lol. I’ll know next time. If there is a next time .. hubs is questioning my antics and I don’t wanna push my luck. This year. Good news is she’s back at it like a champ tonight. I got home after dark and coaxed her out to...

This is probably going to be a long post ... We have a small flock: 12 hens (about a year old) and an EE roo. I had two EE hens because I like the egg colors, but lost one of them over the winter. My second EE comes back into lay two weeks ago .. and wouldn't you know it one of the Australorps...
