Some of you know this already and for those who don't, you do now.
I am a big supporter of Back Yard Chickens
And Urban Chickens
We had Silkies before, and unfortunetly Malcolm brought home a large stray dog
who killed all three of them. :-(
We waited 2 yrs to get chickens again.
This time we got Austrolopes. They are much smarter and predator savvy.
They hide in the bushes and under the trailer when they are outside and we are not around.
Our Hen Daisy went broody recently. For those who dont know, that is when they start
laying for the purpose of hatching and sitting on their eggs.
She laid 12 eggs and when she was happy with the amount she had, she started sitting.
It has been 23 days as of today that she has been setting.
It takes from 21-28 days to hatch. I imagine that by tomorrow when i am back in Andrew that they will be hatched, and i will have 12 chickies.
I will have to post another video
as i have since then made her a broody box on the ground
walled and secured with a netting cover so she and her chicks are safe.
+ if they are hatched they will be a
Adorable.
TTFN.
