Miss Opal is helping with the mothering tasks, Gaia likes to hide underneath her rump.
Both Opal and Pearl are frequently snuggling up with mother and baby and spending a lot of the day just being with the new arrival, it is a blessing to see how nurturing and family centred chickens are if given a safe and happy environment to live in.
Having cleaned out the nesting box finally after three weeks I was delighted to see Gaia up and about coming out to see this new world she (I hope she is a she) has arrived in.
Brulee is a very protective mother and looks a tad grumpy with me hovering about wanting to glimpse her baby as often as I am able.
Expect a lot more baby photos.........
