Our chicks are hatching, two days earlier than expected. And this despite the dire warnings from the poultry man at Malvern show that without additional humidity to soften the shells the chicks wouldn’t be able to break out. I lifted the hen off to check and we have at least three hatched out this morning. We feel like a proud parents all over again. Here’s the blurriest picture I will probably ever post on the web.
Urgent project for tonight is to finish the broody/chick house.
