Mama Noisy Girl is broody again

[Australorpfamily]

Our buff Orpington, Noisy Girl, now Mama, is broody again!

We were able to get her some egger eggs (sire is Blue Wheaten Ameraucana) and gave them to her yesterday. Laid them in corner and she curled them under her. She's such a good Mama and good girl!

Her first batch hatched Dec 1, and she weaned them about seven(ish) weeks and they are now twelve weeks old. And she's ready for more!

I'll keep updating post as we go along!

That's a pretty quick turn around. I bet she keeps it up for a few more batches by the sounds of it. She's very pretty. Good luck with her hatch.

Day 10!

One not fertilized. Yes we have six, but the dark green shell one wouldn't photograph but I was able to see a couple veins on it

That's a good percentage developing. Keep it up Mama Noisy Girl.

She looks like such a sweet chicken! Hope they all hatch!

Well... Have one chick so far! One crushed, we'll see if they make it. Noticed it last night and I'm wondering if Mama got startled during our severe weather.

Have Mama moved and blocked off and ready to welcome the babies in weather that dropped to high forties after being low sixties all week haha lol she knows what she's doing though and kept her latch batch all cozy in December lol

I have a feeling I'm gonna be checking on her often today hehe

Hubby thinks it's ugly lol I think they's kinda cute! Lol an egger (roo is a blue wheaten Ameraucana and hen is an olive egger)

Oh! This one hatched from the dark green egg we couldn't candle! Yay!

And Mama is not enthused. Lol

One more baby!!! (I have to work later so I'm (not) patiently waiting and checking lol)

 

[oldhenlikesdogs]

So very adorable.

Five of six placed hatched! (Six was unfertilized)

The crushed egg, I helped, not certain, still not, but it was moving, and semi opening eyes. We'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes.
