That's nice. She is a great Mom I'm so impressed how well she is doing! I was told not to breed her as she was too old at 3yrs old and a maiden hen. But I think she is doing well!! x

Do I leave her alone or can I wash her face a little !!! xxx Messy Bella sounds good You don't need to clean it. Some of my hens get a pile of dried food under the beak which is visible easily. I just have to remove it every few days.

Thanks 2 of the chicks are from another pair, the hen died! so I fostered the 2 older eggs with Bella and she has hatched them! I'll have to wait and see which 2 are Phoenix & Peggy's babies!!
Bella is a sky reccesive and Bubbles is a cobalt Phoenix is a y/f grey and Peggy was a cin grey spangle
