A few days ago, I walked outside and noticed Rockstar was out of the coop where she had been sitting on a clutch of eggs. I went over to check on her, and found four, little fluff-balls dozing in the grass next to her. She had hatched out two black and two multi-colored babies.
That got me wondering about Isadora. I couldn't remember exactly when she started sitting, but figured her eggs should be hatching soon as well. Sure enough, a day or two later, they did. She ended up with two yellow & orange chicks, one brown, striped chick, and a gray. Although I can tell which kind of hen laid three of the eggs>chicks, but I am not sure where the gray one came from. It will be fun to see what it looks like after its feathers come in.

I could sit around the coops all day watching the new, little chickens. Unfortunately there are other things I have to do.
