Yesterday it was so nice out and mama decided to take babies out. She can fly over the cardboard divider and appearantley got them to go under. Freaked me out so I stayed out there till she tried to take them in two of them couldn't get back up to the door jam so I had to make some steps for...

Thanks for all the compliments I loved sitting out there watching mama show them food and protecting them from the cat and me. She let me look at them when on the nest and stuff but she is a bit testy with them out so I didn't even want to push it. Yes I am a photo junkie and will being post...

Ok we have 4 out of 4 eggs she got off the nest and those 2 late eggs were cold so I opened them and if they had not been late I think they would have hatched too but someone snuck them in. She is showing them what to eat and what not and I took pics of the whole family and a video

Another baby hatched today yippee. 2 eggs that got snuck in are left they may have up to a week to go. It was so cute when I went out to check after getting home to see the oldest one setting right in front of mom like he owned the place

Pics of all 3 babies today

2 more hatched this morning not even completely fluffed up when I went out look to be the same coloring as the first but need to check which eggs they came out of

I think the chick is an andalusian cuckoo maran by ruling out no tophat and I don't think it had feathered legs oops my bad it does have feathered legs and I forgot to check the two today. They belong to my silver phoenix and are so tiny Daddy options are Cuckoo Maran, Black Langshan, Blue...

Well I moved her today into the end of the coop I did this at 430 I know I should have waited till dark but even with 4 wheel drive I don't want to mess around in the dark with the mud. I put her in she plopped right on the eggs and seemed fine and then 5 minutes later she freaked out and was...

I finally bought a new flashlight since my son keeps taking mine and then I can't find them I went out tonight and candled and saw movement and that all had developed unfortunately I didn't listen about marking the eggs I thought they would leave her alone in the new nest she was in but...

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy : Well, I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for the mud to dry up ... Sounds like your hen is gonna hatch out some babies!!!! It is on the verge of drying out some places but now it to rain maybe fri and sat and then monday

Well she has stayed in the new nest since Sunday with out getting in the wrong one and has 4 eggs under her so we will see if she can keep finding the right one after she gets off. I have a small bowl of food with her but not water she has not eaten much from it though. And no the mud is not...

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy : Well you might want to candle her eggs and see if the chicks are alive or dead. Then if they are dead then you'll have to put some more eggs under her. the eggs are from Tue/Wed would I see anything I have never candled

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy : Quote: Moving her by herself I think would be a good idea. That way she can't get into the wrong nest!! Oh, no!!! Sure hope your eggs didn't die!! How long was she off them? I don't know it may have been a while it is so muddy I can't get out there in afternoon

Well sometime this afternoon she got off the nest and got back in the wrong one. Eggs were cold but I moved her back up to the nest she started hope it will still be okay Thinking about moving her to end of coop I had penned off for the youngsters and put her there so she will be left alone...
