This past week I had my first broody hen successful hatch. 8 of 12 eggs hatched and they all seem to be doing well. I got some fun pictures today of them.

Mahonri, they are Americuanas and Bantams is what the lady I got the eggs from said. It was dark when I went and got the eggs so I was not able to see her hens very well. So I will just have to see how they turn out. No, this one is BB (Black Beauty), she is a Black Australorp. Licorice is doing great. She is my treat monster. She thinks that everytime you have something in your hand that it is a treat for her and tries to jump up and get it. She is a great hen.
