As of today (fathers day) my rooster is officially a daddy... how ironic
We have 1 little fluff ball so far and from the peeping I hear from within certain eggs I expect atleast 2 or 3 more
Not the best batch I admit but I'd say pretty good for my hens first time.
After a camping trip I noticed one of my hens was not wanting to give up her egg, so I thought why not and left it with her, soon 2 of my other hens followed suit and also became broody over the same batch of eggs. So for the past few weeks I have been waiting and I thought they were supposed to hatch last week, when they didn't I was upset but heard of people throwing away the eggs and finding out they could have hatched but were late bloomers. So I left them for another week but didn't have much hope, I figured between the 3 of them and shuffling around and egg stealing the eggs probably didn't get enough warmth... But low and behold this morning I heard cheeping
we also had another one this morning but it looked as though it's head had been crushed
Praying to god the other little ones are strong enough to make it out
