Our first chicks of the year hatched out on Wednesday the 16th. Momma hen had 10 eggs, and 6 chicks hatched. Usually we have several hens go broody each spring, but this girl has been the only one to go broody this year. It's a nice change from having a broody hen in all of the nest boxes and having to fight them for eggs. I wonder what my chances are that all 6 babies are pullets? Probably slim to none...
