A few days ago I posted about finding babies under my broody hen...Well, here they are!
We moved them from the community coop into her own private pen late on the second night after 3 hatched and still with one egg. She did fine and is a VERY protective momma!
Just after she came off the nest with the 3 babies we checked on the remaining egg and found it burried in the pine shavings... cold.
I decided to candle it but never made it that far. The egg started cheeping! I've got it in my kitchen under a light right now and I'm hoping for the best since I don't have an incubator. I'm posting in another thread for advice on this situation...
