I believe that these two hens laid the majority of the eggs that I'm incubating, as these are the girls that spend the most time in the nest box. If the chicks come out looking anything like their beautiful mothers (or their very young father, he's about 5ish months), I'll be very happy. So very excited to maybe have some more black-skinned fluffy babies again soon!
