Our little blue cochin has been sitting on 3 eggs for weeks now and we figured they were due to hatch about the 10th. This morning my son went out to check and looked at her eggs. He said one was pipping and peeping! Soon we should have at least one little chick and hopefully 2 more soon after. It will be neat to see her walking about with her little ones. I think she will make a good little momma.
The picture is of her with the two possible fathers. One is a poor sebright (he's a sweety but not feathered well and with a straight comb, we love him anyway) The other is a silver laced polish. They are all less than a year old.
