Thank you Justine, I'm following her now. Poor Booster! This cold we're all getting is just no fun for anyone :( TeaChick, I am sorry about your girl.

Hi everyone! It's been about 100 years since I was here last! I hope everyone is doing well and that everyone is looking forward to a nice Christmas. I've been following Justine and Leigh on Facebook but just haven't gotten back over here! Thought I'd share my early Christmas presents: They...

Hi everyone! I've been MIA for a bit (double ear infection, followed by my 7yr old getting Scarlet Fever--strep throat with a rash-- and then me getting a severe case of strep myself! Loads of fun!). I wanted to share this though thought you'd all find it a bit funny: I just this afternoon...

Well I gave my other Marans a chance today and she went straight for that same baby. She didn't get it though. While we were trying to catch her, she went after another baby. SO, back to jail for her. Again, 8 other chickens with Mama and babies and no issues at all. Right this moment nutjob...

If she doesn't calm down she may become "CHICKEN Helper".

Thank you. So far today, the baby has been totally fine, no issues from it or any of the other chickens. Helper (ha!) is staying in lockdown for a while whether she likes it or not.

SO! After being all proud at how my broody is doing with her babies, and how cute it was that my other Marans was being a 'helper' to Mama.... She went a little nuts. I had this one baby (the light splash) that I had to rescue 10 times between 8:30 and 10:30 AM yesterday morning. The last...

I'm sorry Aoxa :(

You are welcome to it

There are seven chicks total. I'm actually not sure if that is the head of one of the blues that you're seeing. It very well could be!

Mama hen and her "helper". The other girl has decided to help out the Mama, she isn't laying but she's not staying on the nest now either. The babies go to Mama first, but the other one is there too. They do know their Mama. However, last night, Mama took the babies into the other's nest and...

I am so sorry Shan for all those bears have put you through. Hope you get the other one soon!

Does anyone mind seeing baby chick pics? These are our hatchlings from last weekend (Mother's Day weekend). My other Cuckoo Marans has not laid in about 10 days, but she's inconsistant on the nest. The past couple days however, she's been playing Nanny with the babies. One even went to sleep...

She totally does!

I hope y'all don't mind a TON of new baby chick photos . Our final count: 7 out of 8 eggs hatched. The last egg was in the nest still this morning, completely cold and she had the babies on another field trip. Absolutely nothing happening with it so I took it. 7 out of 8 is pretty darn good I...

I think the hatch might be done. She has taken the babies on a field trip to the main part of the coop and left#8 egg on its own. I get no peeping from it and there is no pip or anything. However it is only day 22 and#7 did just hatch today so it may still happen for #8. The biggest babies are...

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms of any variety :) We have 7 of 8 hatched as of 15 minutes ago. Will do another coop crawl soon. Thank you all for your congrats!

Thank you BDM! There is a 6th egg with a small pip in it and it and one other egg have some chirping. The temptation to sit and stare at the eggs is strong. I'd never get anything done if these were in an incubator!

Thank you!!! I just want to crawl into the coop and watch them :) So adorable.

Thank you :)
