Our little Araucana chick is doing fine (and remains nameless due mostly to ambiguous gender), Beach Bunny is a good mother hen, and we've been having fun feeding them crickets and grasshoppers since they are sequestered away from the rest of the flock and cannot fully free-range at this time. Still, only one of the 11-egg clutch has hatched, and we lost two eggs which we found broken. Beach Bunny continues to incubate the rest although she seems to come off her nest more often now to demonstrate scratching and bug-catching for her sole hatchling. We'll give the other eggs a few more days before removing them, but here's hoping that at least one or two more are fertile!

Congratulations on the new chicks. I understand from a very excited Maya on the phone just now that you have two because another one just hatched.
If by any chance the ah hum eggs in the incubator hatch they can be given to the BeachBunny also!!!...:)
