Betty's chicks are hatching today - there are 4 so far from the 9 eggs. It was very hot this afternoon and she got off the nest for a long time - I am hoping that wont mean she will do a giant poo on the new chicks, ugh. 1 of the 4 has little stripes like an emu but the other 3 are plain buff. There may have been some eggs from Pryanka so I'm on the look out for a pea comb but nothing so far.

Nine lovely little chicks hatched today - 2 days early. I am thrilled as it is 100% hatch rate. Cassie has been sitting on 9 eggs without interruption - she is so fierce no other chooks are game to go near her. All the chicks are pale - no spots or coloured tips.
I have such a waiting list - I hope they are all hens! |
