Baby chicks hatched

baby-chicks. Click for larger pictureJust over three weeks ago one of our chickens went broody, so Caroline got 12 'fertilised' eggs from a neighbour and slipped them under the mother to be.
This evening two of the eggs have hatched, young black chickens, and hopefully the rest should shortly follow.
Once the proud 'mother' has settled down a little I'll try to get some photos.


Update: 15th June 2005, Six of the chicks hatched OK, click on the photo for a larger image.

These are our experiences of running a gite business in Brittany, France. A gite is the French equivalent of a country holiday cottage. French culture, language, taxes and bureaucracy. Find out about our gites using the links on the LHS. This is our fourth season (2006) and we are looking forward to the summer. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, schooling etc. Stay tuned.
