Hatching log of a broody satin

Dodo is far from tame, but perhaps my hand feeding and pampering her makes her feel safe? Who knows but she is normally a spaz.

I’m seeing the trend now...maybe the key to a broody’s heart are the goodies we offer to her everyday

My broody is the sweetest most tame chicken in my flock, but NOT when broody. She’s fierce at protecting the eggs and her babies, last time until they were 6 weeks old, they were cramming in the nest with her at night still

but did you bribe her with tastys when she was on the nest?

It looks like Four is a little half-blood!

They are such curious little fluffs. Everytime I peek in the cage (i kept it dark for momma to concentrate on that last egg), they come out from under mama to say hi and be picked up

First taste of crumbles!

Sorry for the continual spam! It was too cute not to share....
My baby satin is now a mom, so proud

And finally, last but not least... Contender #2!

Unfortunately she has a swollen belly, I put 2 drops of colloidal silver on it, wrapped her loosely in a paper towel, before tucking her back under mom. Hopefully she’ll turn out alright, time will tell...

Yay!! Hope she’s OK, any updates?

She’s still not fluffy, the rest fluffed out pretty quickly. Her belly doesn’t seem as big as when I first saw, so that’s an improvement.
