I've not hatched any of my eggs yet but I am dying too-so is Alice. I call her Ms. Grumpy Feathers..always carries on and fluffs up when you enter the coop but never had her bite or scratch me. She is been broody almost all winter-I am scared to hatch babies right now-my daughter would be so crushed if she lost any. But we are looking forward to March/April-thats when we plan on hatching some. We are excited to be able to add to the family...chickens are sooooooooooo much fun!!
