d’Uccle Update

We’ll the “Girls” are doing Great!

They are 3 days into their hatching (they went broody in the same egg box at different times over a week time span)

Strange I know— but it looks like these Gals are in it for the long haul.

Now that is what I call “Farm Girl Sister Hood”

and I think they should be our mascots.

Here are some updated photographs. I added a nursery to see if they

would take to it and they did. They moved the chicks over and put one mom

in charge. She actually has 5 or 6 more under her wings taking a nap.

The other moms come out in turn to take breaks for food, water and bathroom,

but then straight back.

The chicks are sooooo cute! Thankfully the weather is warming back up

and they will be able to go back out real soon.
