This just in!!!

My broody little hen is now a proud little Mama, as of this afternoon she has two beautiful little chicks under her.

See the eggs shell just in front of her..? She pushes them out from under her after each chick hatches.

 And under her (not the best picture ever taken) without making the chicks to cold.

Now, there is way more eggs under her than she began with, as the other hen in the coop

kept adding to the pile. We are not sure how many she will manage to hatch so for now, we will just leave her be. We did however put a heat lamp in over her, so there would be less worry of her getting up in this damn cold weather. Hopefully it will warm up this week like the weather man keeps promising.

While in the coop checking on little Mama, the little Chantecler that we have in the other coop with the Orps, decided that he was much smarted than all the others and was not going to be cold tonight.

He sat right uner the light and made himself comfortable.

He is just cute as can be.

So that's it, Broody hen is now a Mama!

and everyone is happy as can be.

We will keep you posted.

untill then..

Happy Homesteading!
