Went out to let the chooks out this morning and could hear cheeps! Looked under Constance my silkie and there was one chick with one neatly hatched!! The eggs weren't hers as I didn't have a silkie Roo at the point she decided to go broody. Not sure what they are yet as I put 4 eggs in there. The other two were cold and no pips so maybe they were duds??
Anyway here is a pic of the first little one!!

I love it when broodies do their job. I just hate it when I have too many broodies.
