Puddle is here!

                                                              This is Puddle!

                                                     She hatched Friday night.

                                                  Lulu is very protective of her.

                                                          They took a selfie!

                                             Here is happy grandma Sunshine.

  She is the only one of the four eggs to hatch. A few days before the hatch date we candled the 3 fertile eggs and they were all doing fine. But, sometimes that happens. We're hoping she's a hen, since she's the only one to hatch.
  She looks a lot like her mom at that age, doesn't she?

                 Here is the brooder box thing that mom built in their coop for them.
 
  I will put more pictures on as she grows!

Update

  It's been quite a while since I've done a new post, and I think it's about time for an update. 
 
  Lulu is currently sitting on four eggs! We candled them a few days ago, and saw veins in two of them the other two's shells where to thick to tell yet.
  Poor little Clara is the last remaining of the cheekpuffs (Americanas). She is protesting the cold weather, and sitting on her own personal spot on the roost most of the day.
  Mini Trouble has been doing very well in the big coop with Trouble and they have been getting along amazingly well the last few weeks.
  In the jail, only Fanny (Abe) and Cluck remain. Cluck has been molting. Certainly not the best timing for that. It looked like a chicken exploded in their house from all the feathers she lost.
     We only have 26 chickens now. Hopefully all of Lulu's eggs hatch so we can bring that number up a little. I will put some pictures of the chicks on here when they hatch. =D
