Sweet babies and beautiful mamas.. congrats, when my 2 mamas shared chicks and they had 1 each it was so cute and they all did fine.

It shouldn't if they have been sitting together the whole time. They'll just share mama duties. keep us informed.

She'll take care of it, they have to have tough love when weaning some times.

MEGG is Here.... now Known as Megan the baby chick

She hatched out at 5:30 am , Beautiful and perfect. I was really starting to worry last night , she has stopped chirping for hours... so i decided to let mama do her thing , and im glad i did.
We still got to see her all soaked looking like an alien

with half the shell stuck to her bum..
anyways , Lets get to the good part , I myself couldnt wait to see her so enjoy these pics

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! little Megan is adorable, great pics. and when you didn't hear peeping she was probably resting, thats hard work breaking that shell away. I bet mama is so happy!
