REALLY bad news

[Puff of Fluff]

Yaaa!!! Nugget is a DADDY!!!

From the picture of it in hand is sure does have it's daddy's conformation. Congratulations!!! I am sorry about the others though

. Do you plan on trying to hatch more of Nugget's offspring?

I do plan to, I'm building a pen just for Nugget and his ladies, well lady for the moment, but I'm working on getting some big ladies for the big guy. Buffy is the only big hen I have that is available,, except for Fuzzy Butt and she likes the Nuggetron, but she's still a little small and he won't really mess around with her yet.

Charlotte is doing just fine and I'll post some updated pics of her soon. She has got to be the "broodiest" little hen I've ever come across. She always sits on everyone else's eggs, she hatches huge bunches of babies under her tiny little body and is vicious when it comes to protecting them.

Aw that is awesome I am glad that she is doing well. It was a great thing that your son just happened to grab her.

I call her Charlotte the Evil One. She isn't really but she is so small when I toss out treats she runs under everyone and looks like a big, black, feathery, rat! She steals all the treats and hoards them. She tries to sit on anything she thinks will hatch and growls like Rottweiler! She's a great hen though if you want something hatched she's on the job. Her cuteness is off the scale too!

On topic now, I'm going to have to go to the feed store after work and pick up another baby so this one isn't lonely!

Nugget and Buffy's baby just died. Had a seizure and fell over dead before I could open the cage!

Oh Writer, I am so sorry, my heart is breaking with yours. I have gotten very fond of all of you, and you all have my sympathy. Hugs all around.

I was just signing on and looked over in the pen and it was standing kind of odd with it's little head down. I thought it was sleeping and was going to take a cute chick pic, turned to get the camera and it fell over and started seizing, died instantly. I never even got to the feed store to get a little friend for it!! It was getting little feathers, it was going to look just like Buffy I think.
