Of all the chickens that chose to go broody. . . Baby Eggins, our little gray bantam has decided she would like to be a mom. As of Friday she has been sitting on a clutch of eggs. She makes demon noises at us when we peak in at her. She has become flat as a pancake and is managing to spread out over about eight full size chicken eggs.
We laugh to think that if she "goes full term" and hatches chicks, they will quickly outgrow her and will follow around this tiny chicken as their momma.
We are currently gleaning wisdom from various sources on how this whole process works. IF she hatches chicks, it will be around mid June. It should be an interesting and educational experience!
Updates will be posted!
