Susan,
Was it the traditional 21 days or less? and did you let “Momma” do all of the turning or did you have to help out? I’m thinking of getting a rooster just so I can have some chicks – all I have is hens and some of them are getting old.
So dear! Thanks for letting us get a peek at the new babe.
Also, I just got my first two skeins of Juniper Moon Farm worsted and the colors are gorgeous. Many thanks.
Hi Mike! The hen turns the eggs herself so there is nothing to do there. She has been sitting for 22 days now, I believe, and has a few more eggs to hatch. It’s really wicked easy this way!
One hatched, seven to go.

A tiny chicken!
Isn’t there something about not counting before they’re hatched…
just kidding. Cute!!!

Good for Ethel. What’s the theme for chicken names?
Apparently I’ve not been paying attention, cause I had no idea it was a chicken at first glance.
Sheesh. Where have I been?
Go, Ethel! I have chicken envy!
Squeeeeeeeeeee! So cute!
