Big Betsy the Jersey Giant and Emilia the Old English Game Bantam hatched the same day (April 17, 2022) and have been together since they were 3 days old!
They hang around each other all the time and really seem to be "besties". A prominent example is when they were 3 months old Emilia went missing for a full day. Betsy didn't eat or forage one bit, she spent all of her time calling out for her tiny hatch mate. The next day when Emilia returned Betsy went back to her normal behavior.
It has been absolutely comical watching these unlikely friends grow up together
Present day:
Emilia certainly didn't want to give up her nesting box lol
