Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

[aoxa]

Here's a few.  It seems that every time I go out with the camera, mom decides to put the kids downs for a nap.


Butch wondering if it's worth it to try to get those little fluffy things


Mulberry is cat-watching.

Adorable!

These are the bantam chicks that I got to stick under Chickie with her lone-hatch chick which, sadly, didn't make it. She seems to have taken in the two bantam chicks.

Some cute little feet. For store-bought chicks, they sure did take to having a mama hen!

*Best Eagle impression* Have you ever seen such a dirtly look? "Back away from my babies!" Again, with the two bantam chicks.

We love our new mama.

Seriously, GO away!

I love when they are just peaking out from momma's feathers - so cute!

Looks like I get to join this thread again! I just set 7 eggs under my mille fleur cochin who has gone broody for her first time. She's got some silkies, a mille fleur u'ccle, a bantam BR and possibly a cochin under there. We'll see how she does!

Here's Violet

Molly, the kitty, was SOOO having her one of those baby chicks.

She carefully stalked up on it (with me right behind her)

slowly crouched for the pounce



and frantically flew following a face full of furious flying furry feathers as Mulberry went into full attack mode

she barreled through all the big girls standing on the steps of the deck and disappeared into the house


haven't found her yet.
