The chickens I adopted, because they place they were couldn't afford to winter them. So a long came my first bantams since I was a kid. And the first rooster in this coop. I got two silkies , Cochin, Polish and the roo. It wasn't too long before one of the silkies started setting. A lot was going on in the coop, it seemed to me the girls were taking turns on the nest and ultimately one silkie was setting. Then yesterday the Cochin kicked the silkie off the nest and some eggs and took over the nest. We have had a hard winter here in Alabama, and some of this setting started at the end of January, I'm thinking the 25 of February! So I put my big girl self on and went out to candle some, and...............There was a Chick!!!!! I'm am soooooo happy! R
