Congratulations to blue cochin Penelope on her newest baby! This will be the third clutch she has raised in 2 years 🥰 shes a very good broody and a devoted mother to her chicks. Shes got three more eggs under her due any time now, and her daughter Boots (black - cochin-amareucana cross) and flockmate Junebug (black jersey giant) have eggs due to hatch any day too! This will be her daughter Boots first clutch !

Just earlier today I was commenting on a cute video of

u/Apocalyptic_Bird_Man loving on some cockatiels and mentioning loving Nettle as a name for a chicken...this one might end up being Nettle but it's hard to say for sure until all the babies hatch and I get a feel for their personalities!
