Oh, No ! Silly buck, he didn't have to be so greedy! Sorry you have to lute miss Diva, but at least you know about it and don't end up with it being a problem because you didn't know it happened. Maybe some of them won't take and you can still do some of your breeding plans. Can't wait to see pictures of the new fluffy bottoms!

ETA: You posted before I finished. The chicks are cute!

I am sorry to hear about the buck getting out. That stinks.

Those chicks are adorable! Congratulations!

Yeah for baby chicks! Bummer on the Free Ranger (his new nickname today) :/

Congratulations on the new chicks. And sounds like you might be having some goats? Yes best made plans do not seem to be what your buck thought they should be. Very sorry about Diva.

Always sweet to see a new chick poping out from their mom's feathers.

Total chicks this morning is 8! She still has a couple eggs that may hatch. There's a lot of color under Mama Fluffer

Final chick count is 8!! The others were duds. They are super duper cute and Miss Flufferbottom is doing such an awesome job showing them food and water and keeping them tucked under for warmth.

Momma hens are the best, it is so cute how they talk a totally different chicken language to chicks when they are teaching them. Sounds you never hear if you've never had a broody.

I hatched out tooooooo many chicks last fall and now I have too many chickens. I must thin it down before winter. There is a chicken swap in a few weeks and I am hoping to sell about 20 hens there.
