Done for the Night

Sydney has them in for the night and I think I am going to bury Dusty and sign off BYC myself. I will reconnect with everyone tomorrow maybe.

I hope you're very kind and gentle towards yourself Bob. You've suffered a tragic loss and that earns peaceful reflection time.

I lost a puppy to a swimming pool once.
Had my pup all picked out, but it climbed under the pool cover the next day.
Guess I wasn't supposed to have that dog.
Found another dog the next week that was in much more need of a new home.

Take care Bob, we’re here if and when you need us.

Goodnight Bob, and goodnight Sydney. Don’t beat yourself up Bob, I know how it feels and I am sure you will blame yourself. But honestly all you can do is your best, and accidents (and predators) do happen.
Get some rest. We will all still be here when you want to reengage.

Yes, with my phone setting right next to it.

So amazing. OMG... I’m almost caught up to hatch.

I Believe Someone Has Hatched!

Check this out. I have not moved her to see.

I thought I caught her moving a piece of shell on Broody Cam out of the corner of my eye but I wasn't sure. So to the coop I went.

There must be a baby under there somewhere!

Happy Birthday!

Oh my goodness! This chokes me up! (I’m such a sap.)

Say Hello to my Little Friends

At the end of the following video you will easily see one chick and there a second darker one. There is still one egg under her unhatched to this point.

Here are some stills from the video!

Love, love, love! Congratulations! I can’t believe I missed this!

Me too! (Minus Sansa). I thought it would be Phyllis but I decided on Hattie.

Did you notice how Sydney fanned her tail when Phyllis turned to look at her? I’m guessing that was a signal to stay away.

YES!

Love all of this! I adore the color of your coop! Beautiful birds.

100% Hatch Rate

Hey there, @CrazyChookChookLady , Stanley fought his way past Goldie's defense. The third egg hatched! Sydney has them out and about. Watch the video closely and you can see the third chick staying under her. Oh my gosh I can't stand it! So special!

So wonderful! And look at what an amazing mama Sydney is!
