These very long awaited little bundles of fluff finally arrived on Monday 28th July.
I was not expecting anything to hatch as it is the hens first time breeding season and the bitterly cold weather we had but she was a good mum and got a 100% strike on her first clutch. Very proud of mummy lol.
Here they are......
and a bit of sister/brother torment with foot in face...
Will post more pics in a few days when they have grown a bit more

Thanks for the replies. Here are updated progress pics taken yesterday. Can anyone tell me why I have a Kojack lookalike there? I have checked him over and there is no damage, marking or anything to indicate that he is being picked on or plucked, so I am wondering if the fluffy feathers are making way for pins? Does anyone think that is it?     |
