First chicks
We received fertilized eggs from neighbour Glenn (who lives far enough out of town to have a rooster) when Lizzy (our Sussex hen) became broody. This is the second time we’ve tried, but this time we followed the-chicken-chick.com website for advice and although we started with 8 eggs, after candling them and throwing away 5, we were left with 3 eggs that hatched. They emerged the day after a violent hail storm, on the 29th of December, so we’ve called them Storm, Hail and because s/he likes to cuddle up, Angle.
Storm, Hail and Angle in the brooder
Outside for the first time
A week later, there were growing winglets.
One month on…
A month later, the chicks have wings and are getting up to all sorts of mischief. Lizzy has proven herself to be an excellent mother.

When were they born? We discussed this on Tue am and I said “2 days to go”. Would be interested to know. 🙂
They hatched on Saturday 29th, the day after the storm.
