Hatch Day

... is T-Minus 3 days and counting. Unless the eggs the broodies are sitting are duds, we should have a couple of babies breaking free of their shells soon. If they are duds, and nothing hatches, then I shall have to find a couple of day-old chicks to sneak under each of them (at night, when they're asleep), so they wake up to a "surprise" in the morning and are convinced these baby chickens owe their existence to superior egg-sitting skills. Then they can get on with motherhood, etc, etc.

Little broody girls are just too cute, but this can't go on indefinitely.
