How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

I would love to see a pic of you bantam - those chooks are gorgeous ♥️

My old gal Sophia went broody at 5, first time ever! Same deal, I tried to break her out of it, but after 6 weeks she was really getting poorly, I was at the feed store and they had a shipment of chicks in. I bought 4, went home and shoved them under her and prayed.

When they started chirping her eyes opened wide, she wiggled her body and wings and snuggled them in close. Gosh she looked so happy. Next day she was eating and drinking and had her babies to care for. She kept them for about 10 weeks, an actually the kids left her - she tried to keep them with her but nope they wanted to be free 😊

Today I got 15 eggs! Wow! I think a few of the older hens are finished moulting and coming back online.

Sold 10 dozen today which will pay for some fees. Still have 8 dozen or more to sell.
That is beautiful picture of mother hen and her kids. I just want to hugs them all. I will take a picture of my 4 bantam today.
 
10 from 12. Unexpected and much appreciated!
