Our Mixed Flock Journey!

Good morning all! I went out and checked on my chickens and Ophelia seemed to be doing fine this morning, she came running out for the cracked corn along with everyone else! I will continue to keep a close eye on her today!

After I checked the chickens I looked in on Daphne! She had 13 kits, I couldn't believe it when I finished counting all of them! And on Labor Day...so fitting! I couldn't get a clear picture they were wiggling so much...lol!

Oh my gosh!! Wow! So many! And look at them squirm! 😍😍 ... can’t wait to see them grow up!
 
I'm still worried about my sweet BO hen. She's still hanging out in the coop. I checked to see if she was egg bound, but as far as I can tell, she isn't. I examined her head to tail and she looks good! When I brought her in, I gave her some mash & she really enjoyed that and some water, I also saw her poop a couple of times. When I took her back out, we set her down & gave everyone grapes, she was gobbling them up with the best of them. When I went back out later she was back in the coop sitting on the lip of a nesting box. I will check her in the morning & see if her crop has emptied before she has a chance to eat and do another abdominal check. I'm going to close the door to the coop tonight & will open it and catch her before she gets any food! Have a good night or day everyone, depending on where you are in the world! 💞

She's not broody? I'm a little obsessed just now. My flock has gone completely nuts with broodies. 🙄
