Ella2025's Experiment Broody Hen Hatch-A-Long

[GreenJay]

Saffron and peppermint are dry and adorable. Saffron has some dry stuff (egg?) stuck on her back that make her look wet still and not as fluffy as Pepper, but I think it'll come off as she/he feathers in.

Just adorable! Looking forward to seeing them grow up!

Sorry Bippy didn't take to them, not all broodies make good mothers though and she is still pretty young.

And it was a good hatch! Are you going to set aside some eggs for the Halloween hatch-along?

I'm sure she would make a great mother in the future if the chicks actually hatched under her. She looked extremely confused and acted as if she didn't know there were little babies wiggling under her

I honestly want to do the hatch itself and get some more cute babies, but they will be growing up during the coldest of the cold winters, and I don't want them to suffer.

These are the least skittish (and the cutest) chicks I've ever raised and they come onto my hand by themselves here are some photos I took just now

I know for a FACT they'll become adorable adults too with their little muffs and beards.

LoL, true!
Two of my younger pullets (green queen and black ameraucana) have muffs and beards, sooo cute!
Yes, I think I need more chicks with muffs and beards....
