Today, my white game hen surprised me with a golden chick. It was running around in the chicken coop then dove under mama. I think she has more under her, I have just left her alone. She has been brooding for 3 weeks. I can hardly wait to see all her chicks. It is so nice have a broody hen do all the work nature intended. Having home brooded 2 batches of chicks ourselves, it is messy smelly work for inside the house. I am much happier to leave it to the hens outside. This batch is also from our best rooster. This will be his first flock as a father. Going to be a busy spring.
