First it's just a crack, then a hole... and it's moving!
Who knew that they started peeping BEFORE they hatched!
First Sylvia got broody. She was a good little momma and faithfully sat on her four eggs. One broke early on. A second one hatched a few days early and just wasn't ready. One was a dud. And the other one had little LaurelAnne (a.k.a LaLa) in it! We love her so!
Next Dolly got broody.
Actually there were six eggs. Sadly, one hatched too soon and just wasn't ready. Another got stepped on in the nest during the first hour. But these four seem healthy and happy.
What did you end up naming them?
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll tell you, but it may change once we find out who's a rooster and who's a hen.
DeleteThe tiniest one is named Sing, pronounced Thing... because our daughter wanted to name her baby brother Thing. She loved to thing, as in thing a thong! La la la!
The one with a yellow cap is Jenzie... because Jenz Voigt is one of my favorite Tour de France bikers. He spent a lot of time in a yellow cap.
The one with a white circle on the top of her head is Ella... because Ella Enchanted is one of my favorite book characters. She ends up with a crown.
And the biggest one is named Jane... because I liked it.
Mostly though, I just call them, "The Babies."
