Broody with 3 Day Olds

[speckledhen]

Glenda's babies are 3 days old now. Here are a few pics. Three barred EEs (two blue, one black) and one black Orpington.

Aaaaawwww! I love seeing a momma hen with the babies! I wish one of our girls would go broody.

I have my first broody sitting on 7 eggs. I can hardly wait
til there are babies for her to care for.

Thank you for sharing the photos, Speckledhen

Sorry they aren't the best pics, but those little critters are fast! They look so tiny and vulnerable outside in the big wide world.

Oh Cyn, those are so cute. I am so tempted to let my poor Cloud, araucana broody sit on some eggs. She is a determined mama. She broods for a month or two on air, breaks for a few weeks, then right back at it. I worry about how she'll do with chicks in the flock though, as I have no where to separate her right now to raise babies. I bet this would make her happy to no end though.

I'm trying to break up my Tux now. She's been broody about 25 days now on air and I just have nowhere to put her other than the wire dog kennel on top of Zane's cage. That's where she is on a few shavings, no nest. At least she is out of that deep, dark, hot nest in the main coop where I can see her.
