I've had 2 broody hens sitting for awhile, and finally their work is paying off!
Unfortunately they were only sitting on 2 eggs between them, and one died so there is only one
I thought the egg was due to hatch yesterday, so today i went out to check on it and candle it if s/he had not already hatched. I pulled at out from under mom. Immediately I saw a little hole in the egg and could hear the little guy pecking away... of course, I quickly put him back under mom
My guess s/he'll be out by the end of the day - pics to come when s/he's here!
