It's Tetra's hatching day! Whee! I popped out around 6am and lifted her up just a smidge to see if we had any babies under her wing but saw all of the eggs were pipped instead. I let Tetra settle back down (thankfully she's very gentle with that and is terribly forgiving of me lifting her fluff to see) and I put a sheet over the entire maternity brooder so that she doesn't have to deal with seeing the other hens wandering past while she hatches the babies. <3 Go Tetra!
Five of the eggs are my little Golden Spangled Hamburg X Araucana Pipper's and two of them are my Golden Spangled Hamburg hen Grendel's. So many pretty babies.
Oh yes..and meanwhile...responsible grown-up type person that I am, I get an SMS on Sunday reminding me that my Silver Laced Wyandotte chicks are ready to go to their new home.
.........
OH YES THOSE CHICKS.
I'd forgotten that I was on a waiting list for them. x.x Luckily, I'm fairly always prepared and have several brooders, so I was able to just jump in the car and head off to get them while my husband pressure washed and set everything up. My little boy donated his furry froggy backpack to the chicks who keep burrowing themselves underneath it adorably.
