They're Hatching! Day 20 for Glenda *PICS ADDED*

[lockedhearts]

I have 13 in my spare bathroom now. Unfortunately the 2 month old are getting booted this weekend. I have 3 more eggs in the hatcher and 30 chicken eggs plus 4 Turkey eggs in the bator. Also got more eggs today and more coming next week.
Yep, looks like chicks in the house all winter.

Well at least I'm in GREAT company in my madness. LOL. I tried to get turkey eggs but the flock I wanted them from decided to quit laying and moult instead. Sigh. Heck, if those turkeys make the mistake of laying in NOV I'll probably take eggs anyway. What's a few more?

She's teaching them well. She's turned out to be a great mama in spite of a rocky start with the hatching part.

That's really good news.

Then she does the work and frees you to take care of the others-we all know you have your hands full with some of them right now.

I'm proud of Miss Glenda. She lets us handle the babies and do whatever we need to do. So far, I've had three different broodies and each has been a sweet one.

Here are some pics of Glenda today. I opened her pen so she could bring them out, but she wasn't ready yet. That explains the not-so-good pic quality. Didnt want to use a flash much and scare the babies.

Awww Cyn...those are great pics! Glenda looks like a wonderful mom. I'm so glad it all worked out for her and those beautiful babies.
