I only realised about a week or so ago that one of my chooks was missing. When I finally found her she was sitting on a secret hoard of eggs. I figured I would let her go and expected to see some chicks in another week but surpirse surprise when I went to lock every one up tonight there she was proud as puch showing off 3 little chicks...Definately Araucana X's (I have had so many this year I can tell) There was 6 eggs still sitting in the nest (all cold) but I shoved them under another hen that had gone broody just in case. I wont complain even though I was determined not to have any more x breeds, I can still find homes for them. I have a couple of regulars who love them as they lay green/blue eggs I will see if I can get a piccy of them tomorrow
