First time Mumma

[A-HOMESTEAD]

We are excited that our first time Mumma did so well sitting on her eggs. We only allowed her 5.

This morning 2 have hatched and are doing well.

They are in the coop in a closed off area so the other ladies can't get in and disturb them.

We arent 100% sure if the other 3 will hatch we will see over the next couple of days.

We were certain when we candled around the 18 days they had died. So to hear chirping this morning and find a fluffy was just amazing!

We do have a brooder if we need to separate but hoping we can allow mumma to do her thing!!!

We are so proud of her. She has just been an amazing mumma with her eggs and watching her with the bubs.

Hoping the other 3 or OK we will give them a few more days and then candle again.
