MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Getting close now, MJ, I think they've done wonderfully together.

I'm getting excited and anxious!!

They really have done well. I hope it's been habit-forming.

I am getting nervous!

Oh my goodness!

I've been hoping for the best while fearing the worst since the eggs arrived

It's an emotional rollercoaster!

Less than a week to go MJ. Hang in there!

Chooks to take your mind off it a bit.

The girls want to decimate the flower bed

look at the iridescence in Peppers feathers!

They sound lovely

Do Basil and June lay very dark eggs?

Lila sounds particularly gorgeous. I love black hens.

I am going through my first ever hatch right now with Peggy and Ivy co-parenting two fertile eggs. All going well, I expect them to hatch any time from Sunday-Tuesday.

My neighbours gave me the eggs. They have a BA rooster and he has three hens: two little red sexlink laying hens and one light sussex. I'm pretty sure the eggs are from the redheads, so I'm looking forward to little chicks with BA father and redhead mothers. I'm kinda hoping they come out unique coloured so I can tell them apart!

You're so lucky to have a hen friend who falls asleep in your arms! I would love that.

Can't wait to see some photos when you've got time

Thank you! June and Basil lay kind of dark eggs, they are not as dark as they to be. They also have dark speckles on them. Congrats with the eggs! I hope you have happy and healthy chicks!
