2015-07-15 09.59.38There's the little white one.  It looks like she's been pooped on.The two new ones are remarkably smaller than the other chick, only two days older.Yay!  Three chicks from the white hen (although two are from stolen eggs)- far better than I expected, and equal to her productivity last year.I'm pretty sure that will be it for chicks from her, although I'll leave her her eggs a few more days.   She would know, I think, if there was any life in the remaining eggs and stay on them.   After the first chick, she got even more fierce about sitting on her eggs, as two more were close to done then.  Now she seems to be losing interest in the eggs, or else she's just very hungry now.All four of them are in a confinement box now for a few days.
