Good pics and pretty chickens. What type of hen is princess? I have a chicken from TSC mix that looks just like her.

I had two broodies. They were both such great mommas. This grey hen is literally crawling underneath my Cochin so she can be the one to sit on the chicks!

What breeds are they? They are both really pretty. Well, the feathers on the grey one is pretty, you can't really see the rest of her!

Awww... thanks. The grey hen butt is a Silkie...not that you can tell from her feathers. I suspect maybe she is a Silkiechin. The other is a Cochin

Awww.... im sorry. But what a story of how brutal life can be. Real world in truth.... good luck to you n Trooper.

I'm so sorry for the mother, but I'm glad the chick survived! very nice birds you have!

Thank you, it was terrible finding the mother, and that lost chick cry that babies do when they can't find their siblings nearly made me cry. .-.
