All have hatched now!

I've never had an EE this color before. Excited to see how they turn out!

I totally agree! It's so wholesome and natural.

All seven have hatched.

They're in a hard to get to spot, so it's a bit difficult to get good photos.

This broody is going hardcore motherhood. She has barely moved once since they hatched. I gave the chicks a tiny little dish of dirt and she immediately started getting the dirt all over her and the chicks and proceeded to try and dust bath. Needless to say, it didn't work. I have a nice big tub of perfect dirt for dust bathing right beside her, but she refuses to leave the chicks long enough to go in. Anyway, she's been a great mother so far.

So sweet.

And here is momma as a chick I hatched out last July! She was my favorite.
