New Momma Hen!

Yesterday one of our Cornish hens became a new momma!  She has been setting on eggs since March third and I knew that they would be due any day.  In the afternoon, I saw one cute, fuzzy little black head poking out from her tail feathers.  How exciting!  We were both giddy.  By the time I did my last round at dusk to lock up the chickens and geese, there was another two.  Another black one and this time there was a yellow one with a bit of black marks on his head.  He was still damp and there lay two perfectly halved egg shells under the momma hen.  Fast forward to this morning, and I found three more little babies.  I guess I will be setting up a little private caged in area for the new little family today.
