First broody hatch of 2014

21/4/2014

1 Comment

 
Already this year I am on my 4th incubator hatch, hatching chicks to meet orders placed at the end of last year / early this year. Today however we had the first chicks of the year hatch under a broody hen, Such a lovely sight and very much my preferred way to raise the next generation of birds. All 8 eggs hatched  - 7 Welsummer chicks and 1 little Maran X ( due to a mix up in egg identity ).

A few photos to enjoy.
