Terrible cell phone pictures in the dark this morning...........
Checked on the broody this morning. The olive egger chick hatched, but it is different than most I have hatched. It hatched out of an olive colored egg from my Splash olive egger. Father is a Barnevelder, so the chicks usually hatch out solid blue. This one has strong Barnevelder markings, so it will be interesting to see how it feathers out.
Here is the welsummer baby, doing fine this morning.
And momma Barnevelder, before I moved her and the babies to private quarters. She is a true Barnevelder, but dubbed herself on fencing when she was young.
