I haven't heard the peeps (or maybe just my imagination) but have definetely heard mama talking to them two days before actually hatching. My curiosity is usually met with the cold shoulder stare - and nothing happening here look from the broody. :) funny hens!
 
Bad news now, do you know how i was asking if my friends chick was ok in the egg? then i said it had hatched? well its having problems now :(
 
Some pics of the chicks, (on the pic with the two ginger hens on is Flora and princess layer, they are both ex batts and i have out it on because of Melow and the Orp having a bad past with her!)







if you notice on thsi pic both the BO hen and BO chick are doing the same thing:
 
One of the broody RIR's is hatching. I though on lock up last night she was getting ready to by the way she was acting. She is giving me my birthday present. New fuzzy butts!
