The Babies are HERE!

4 New babies

I have new babies, 2 black and 2 yellow. Hungry as a Kirby vacuum. I am having a hard time keeping track of the black ones as they hide in the shadows and under mom who is a dark gray.
I just checked and the 4 or more eggs that hadn't hatched are gone. No shells, no nothing. I guess they were cannibalized. Nothing goes to waste around chickens. I was hoping to have a couple more hatch. No such luck. The roosters are having a field day though.
4 roosters to service 9 hens means there's plenty of nooky to go around.  As long as they keep laying I'm happy.

New Arrivals

The babies are here!

Yes, I have 4 new babies, 2 little black ones and 2 little yellow ones. They eat like full grown chickens though. I left them with their mother this year and kept an hourly check on them to see that she took care of them and the other hens didn't do anything to harm them.
She abandoned the other eggs that hadn't hatched but another hen moved in and I'm hoping that she incubates them so I get some more.
Wish me luck, these chickens cost $5 or more to buy them now so I figure letting some hatch would save me money. I forgot about 'baby' food. lol
