Brand New Peeps Under Our Broody Buff Orp!

[NorthernMIFlock]

It's day 21 for my very dedicated broody buff orp and we woke up to quiet peeping from her nest box early this a.m. Wasn't sure how she was going to do cuz she just turned 1 and we have no rooster. My friend brought 7 maybe fertile eggs over on 6/8, she accidentally pecked one open on day 10, but so far we see 3 new babies! My son is over the moon!

Congrats! Look's like she'll be a great mother!

She seems very gentle and protective the couple times we've peeked at her. She's also eating the shells
