I have a successful broody coturnix hen!!

One of my Texas A&M's has been sitting on 8 eggs and she has hatched 2 chicks so far! I'm sooo excited. This has been her third try at a clutch of eggs, and finally she is a mama I checked her tonight and she's wearily sitting on her babies keeping them warm. Thought i'd share.

Btw, she is hatching my brown coturnix hens eggs. None of the roos want to mate with the A&M's! Surrogate mom

I'll be keeping you updated on their status, and if any chicks hatch tomorrow.

I'm very interested in how this turns out, because you could have paid $1 on the lotto and gotten $100 million for every chick hatched.

Please keep us posted, and include pictures if you can!
