Our little Blue Cochin Bantam that has been sitting on eggs for 2 months finally has a baby. Many of you may recall me posting her 1st baby pic, the one of her own baby that only lived a day and died. Then she sat on our white Polish egg (the hen that died) and the baby died in the egg. She was so determined to sit that we put 2 more eggs under her. This morning one hatched. It is not her baby (obviously) it is from a standard RIR hen. The other egg she had under her did not make it. It started to hatch and died. She has had the worse luck but has been so determined. Hopefully nothing will happen to this baby.
