Say hello to Cruella and her new babies!!

We tried to break Cruella of her broodiness but she wouldnt quit even after cold water baths, so we said screw it, we will let her sit on 6 eggs. Unfortunately only one of the chicks was successfully hatched by her. Her coopmates killed the other 3 that hatched and one didnt make it out of the sack when it hatched in the night. I felt bad for the lone chick that made it so we got her a few new friends to grow up with her. Cruella took them without even having to sneak them under her. I learned a few tough lessons in this process and can say i will never allow a hen to get broody again.
