Lets hope mama will stay till tomorrow,
It'll going to be so much fun to watch her with her new babies no matter how she gets them.. I'd coose EE or BO's but what ever you decide they'll be great. looking forward to hearing, oh yea at least 2or3. thats plenty of room for the amt. of chcikens you have.
TerriO, I have a couple of mamas that have pretty much stopped mothering during the day, but still get with their chicks at night, it's so funny to see mama sitting on the perch with her chicks under her and on top.
But I have 1 my frizzle bantam that still has her 2 with her and they will be 6 weeks old tomorrow, she is so tiny they are catching up to her fast.
can you believe next week dawng you'll have chicks? 3 weeks goes by fast.
stony I never take chciks from mama either, I agree with you, she can do a much better job than I, after they are weaned I start making friends, the way to a chickens heart is deff. through it's stomach
and if I need to handle them at all I just wait till they go to roost then pick them up. some I never get to cuddle but I do have some that I can. Happy Hatching. To You All, and looking forward to pics...
