New chicks
Well, I'm a granddad again!

My little broody hen has hatched out part of her clutch. I came home from camping and found 6 new chicks scampering about.

Mom seems to be doing what a good hen should and is keeping them safe and warm as the rest take their turns emerging from the shells. The clutch was laid over the course of a week so not all will hatch at the same time.

They are Black Astrolops and I am hoping for a majority to be hens. their mom and aunts have proven to be excellent layers.
