I need to share a cute story with you. A year ago we decided to get some chickens because well that is what you do when you are a baker right?! Well we really have enjoyed having fresh eggs and watching the girls free range. About a month ago we decided let’s incubate our Rouen duck eggs and see how that goes. Success! 4 adorable little quackers which we found an amazing home for along with 2 of the adult broody mamas so we now have 2 ducks and 15 chickens. Perfect! No not yet! Now we have 2 hens that are broody so we decide “why not?” Let them set too. About a week ago it was close time for them to hatch so we moved both girls and eggs into the nursery. They hatched a total of 8 chicks but 2 did not make it. The Brahma decided she did not want to wait any longer she wanted to live the mom life so she got off the eggs and spent the day playing with babies. So we decided to rescue the remaining 4 eggs and put them in the brooder. Yesterday they started to hatch! 2 total hatched and 1 hatched over night. Let me show you 😁💕😳
