Eggs and Chicks

Our big broody hen - Tess - has hatched out all she is going to hatch I believe. She had 12 eggs under her and hatched out 9 live ones, 1 died after hatching, and she has two left, but I think she is finished being broody! 9 out of 12 is great though! Here are some of the chicks and the proud (and VERY protective) Mama!

No its not different daddies - it is actually different mamas........












Tess today - with 9 baby chicks. Try and get close and you will get a good pecking - just ask Card.
