D-Day in more ways than one

I know Memorial Day just past, but let's not forget today is D-Day!

Thanks to all those brave souls!!!

On another note.....We are having our own war with Mr. Fox

This past week Mr. Fox stole 6 of my hens now Goldie is doing her effort to restock the flock! Goldie refused to get off the nest one day so I just stuck 11 eggs under her. Well every time she got off the nest another hen would add to her collection until I found she had 17 under her, so we moved her and her nest into the growing coop where I knew that no more eggs would be added. Today is D-day they hatch!

This morning with more to come!

Dawww, what a good looking mama! The tiny lil' fuzzbutts are adorable. What breed is she?

Love your pictures.

Sorry about your loss to the fox. Good luck with the rest of the hatch!

She's a "Black star" ......um, looks more like a gold star to me....at least she's earned one!

I just checked up on her and so far we've got two yellow, three striped, and one black. There are ten more eggs under her, but I'm pretty sure that a couple of them aren't fertile.
