Hello!

I dreamed of owning chickens for several years, then 13 years ago I got my first flock and dreamed of breeding but did not live in a place zoned for roosters. So I moved. :D Last year I had a dedicated broody but the conditions were not quite right for her and the eggs did not make it to hatch. ❤️

This year, for the first time, I got to place curated eggs beneath a lovely mama in great conditions and yesterday she hatched out 7 beautiful chicks! Out of 8 eggs, so I am delighted by this first successful experience! Just wanted to share because I am bursting, haha. :love

Thanks for listening, and happy chicken keeping to all! 🥳

🎉 Congratulations! 🎉
The chicks are adorable :love and mama looks very proud of herself and the brood! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
 
I still remember with great fondness the day my first broody hen hatched her chicks.

Seeing a mama hen with her chicks is my favorite part of raising chickens. Enjoy!
Thank you! My neighbors' birds come to my yard every day and I have watched and fed those mamas and their babes many times, but I'm delighted to finally have my own. I will soak it up! :D
