Probably because of Broody overload.

We have chicks!

I went into the coop and heard a faint peeping under Vera and I was like

sorry about all the little faces, but they totally describe what I'm feeling right now! I didn't want to disturb her too much, but I saw 3 hatched eggs and one that has yet to hatch. I managed to get a glimpse of one of the chicks, it's black! And SOOO cute! Vera is being such a good momma, I'm so proud of her

And don't worry, pics will come shortly
