New Baby Black Australorps!

[MarlaMac]

Broody Momma hatch 8 chicks in her clutch of 12. First one born Jun 1, then 3 on the 2nd, the rest on the 3rd. Today she left the others so I have them in an incubator. I don't know if I will be successful as I have never done this before.

Rooster came into help the chicks learn to eat/drink today, but I didn't have my camera with me. It was awesome to see 2 of the little ones race over to his clucking.

Here are some pics for your eye enjoyment.

She is a good momma. This is her third clutch. Roster Cogburn makes a good daddy too! He helps raise his offspring.
