MJ's little flock

MORE PEEPING!!

The chick is calling out much more frequently now!

The mums both replied to the chick and Ivy turned to look at it.

It's OK to try and look under. You may get pecked for you efforts though. It is not easy to see them so you will have to wrestle the hen a little.

She is also dealing with two angry mommas. I've never had co-broody's before. If one or both are as evil at this stage as my game hen can be, that is a nightmare situation that I never want to deal with.

I'll see how my anxiety goes. If it gets out of hand, I'll take a look.

Ivy is a darling but Peggy is a tyrant.

Ivy is a darling but Peggy is a tyrant.

Do they seem OK and not distressed? Maybe that is a sign to let them get on with it.

I looked at the mums and softly said have you got a little baby? AND THE CHICK PEEPED!!

They are very calm but Ivy is panting.

For now, I'll stick to my decision to not intervene.

I imagine my first glance at the chick will be when the mums are ready to bring it out.

That's amazing. I'm so happy for you.
