Gee, she is in a hurry! Poor bub. That's a hard one with baby two still needing mum's feeding. Please be careful ......

I know! I was sad for my poor baby. I'm taking a careful look at the feathers. She's not an aggressive hen at all so I don't think she'll become nasty with the babies but I will, obviously keep a careful eye and keep you all updated.

So good news is after doing as much research as I could about breeders who have had pluckers, I tried a few things and Mum hasn't been plucking the babies at all. Whether it was just a one off or she has been distracted by the things I've been doing, I'm not sure, but I'll keep doing what I'm doing! She has two fake eggs in her nest, an iodine block and she has a sprig of millet in there daily so as long as there's no plucking I'll be keeping this up. Here's baby one: Clearly, he is going to be yellow and blue like his Dad. And number two: I *think* I can see white and blue with this little bean but not 100% yet.

Fingers crossed that Mum has seen the error of her ways.

I'm glad that mum has stopped plucking the little one. It must hurt the poor little thing.
