They are good! I went out this morning to take away the rest of her eggs, since the last one hatched five days ago. To my surprise one was just hatching! Here are the two that hatched last weekend. The reddish one is buff orpington/rhode island red.
Mom is a game. Dad is a silkie. It will be very interesting to see what it looks like as it grows. Some of the other eggs are from my buff orpington and silkie hens. I also have a rhode island red rooster. It's kind of like a science experiment every time chicks hatch around here.
Apparently I was wrong about when my broody started. The chicks that I thought would hatch around the 26th started yesterday. Here is the first one. I have at least two others that I can see have pipped. It's so exciting!
Don't I know! When we moved here our donkey came with the property. I guess after three years she decided to start stomping calves and so the previous owner left her. She is on 40 acres and is completely wild. I've been trying to get a farrier out because I am extremely concerned about her...
