I think your hen is pretty also. Is she an EE?

 

[bluey]

No, she's a Delaware mix from what I can figure. My daughter brought her home from a 5th grade hatching project.

The fertilized EE eggs were purchased from bugladyleah when my Delaware hen went broody. I put the 4 eggs under her at night and she is raising them as her own.

Stll waiting on the last egg....We're at Day 21!

No signs of activity yet. If I had a clue about candling I'd do it, but I'm a miserable failure at it. The egg doesn't seem to be peeping either....

Okay, our last egg turned out to be a dud, but here are our EE chicks!

I just love it when they pose nice:

Mommy!!!
