Out of three eggs, so far one hatched and I found one squished in front of the hen. I saw movement in all three when I candled at three weeks, but when I did a quick check on Sat night/Sun morning, I only saw movement in one. The squshed egg looks like it quit forming, I don't know about the last egg. I may only end with the one, but the peahen started laying again so I may have another chance?
These eggs were under a Speckled Sussex chicken, and the poor girl has been neglecting herself so I am glad that she will be off of the nest soon!
Please excuse the dirty looking fingers, I was mowing the yard and got the grass stuff all over my hands while unclogging the mower shoot (the clover is bad this year).
Mom looks like a Silver Pied, dad is supposed to be Black Shoulder but may be split pied. Baby has white wing feathers, the only color that I see is the milk chocolate colored spot on the back and a few tiny spots of color on the head. Is it pied? Either way, just a cutie!!!
