Baby Chick Check Up

It appears we may have  Rooster. :)  He has little tail feathers that are distinct. He stays close to his mama and doesn't wander far. Rooster Cogburn and the goats were interested in seeing him today. :)
His mama is very proud! :)

Baby Chick Sounds and The Kitty

Cute baby chick sounds....

Apparently the new chick is an issue for Mr. Kitty. :)  He has been STARING in that cage all day long and purring.  NO! She is NOT your lunch!

More Pictures of the New Baby Chick

 Miss Broody Britches is still sitting on 3 of her eggs. They should hatch sometime tomorrow.
We moved her to the dog kennel to protect the baby from falling out of the nest. Little chicks can get into all sorts of trouble! LOL

 It is hard to believe a little chick fan fit into an egg like that.

 Here she is resting on mama.

The cat is VERY amused! LOL The chicken growls at him everytime she sees him. :)

NEW LIFE!

Well, one little Chick has arrived. We were walking out to go to church, and I checked to see.... and there she was! :)  3 to go!

What Is Miss Broody Britches Up To?

BROODING of course! :)

20 days until hatch day. :)

Miss Broody Britches.....aka Midnight

We gave an unplanned Science Experiment! They are usually the best kind!  We have a chicken who has gone broody.  Today is her second day of sitting on eggs.  She has 4 of them.   So during the month we will document her behavior which is mostly..... brooding. LOL

We will document how often she gets up to stretch and we will hopefully watch the chicks hatch out of their shells.   The average chicken sits for 21 days before eggs hatch.... I'll post updates and hopefully catch the process on video when they are ready to come into the world. :)
