Up to about a week ago Bev continued to sit on the eggs
Early morning would often see her have a quick walk round the paddock and have a dust bath.
She has her favourite spot in the sunshine.
She would come to the kitchen patio and enjoy a spot of weeding.
The mint had gone wild so she helped with a bit of pruning.
As the 21 days of incubation dawned she stayed in the henhouse, on her eggs.
On Thursday evening we noticed one chick - Friday morning a few more.
Bev is now mum to 6 chicks - all doing fine.
I am keeping an eye on matters - watch this space!
How lovely, they're so cute. Bev must be a very proud mum.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful chicks - I hope they continue to thrive. Bev is a good mother :-)
