Broody mama hen has a better hatch rate than the incubator. She hatched 4 of the 4 turkey eggs that were under her. Our incubator hatched 4/5 eggs from our turkey and we are waiting on another batch that should be hatching in 10 days or so.
It is so much easier when mama keeps them warm and cares for their education (teaches them to eat and drink). Although, this mama hen is very feisty and pecks me every time I change their food and water.
Here they are today (about 3 weeks old):
Yesterday Mother Goose hatched 2 goslings. She does not like to be disturbed.
Can you spot the little yellow fluff ball hiding under her wing?
Lots of rabbit kits born last week. They get big fast and I wanted to have some small cute ones for the kids to hold at the family reunion.
We also got one more of the weird islands in our yard taken care of. Hubby pushed over the 3 dogwoods and we were able to replant one. The other two were either too crooked or did not have enough roots to replant.
This is what we do for FHE sometimes. Daddy puts on a show with his tractor.
