The Natural Chicken Keeping thread - OTs welcome!

Well...momma finally came out again today and I got a look at the other eggs. No activity I can see at all. They were all placed on Friday, Dec. 7 at about 8:30 pm. I only looked for any outside signs of activity.

Based on the time and date I put them under her I had thought not to expect any action until today and into tomorrow but baby 1 hatched pretty early yesterday. I'm still hoping for something in the next 24 hours but not sure since there seems to be no visible signs of anything at all.

Today baby followed mom out but I did not see baby eat or drink. At first I was concerned baby wouldn't get back into the nest and would get too cold so I picked it up and put it back in. Baby just PROMPTLY came right back out! Mom went back to the nest and baby followed her back okay.



Nice
 
Awwww...baby chicks...well...chick. I wish I had some.

Earlier i was asked to post pictures of my coops and hospital. I lost my memory card and did not have pictures of the old coop or interior hospital. I did not dust the hospital. It has not been used in years and the pictures will reflect that.
