Funny thing about motherhood. This hen is a viscous so & so & yesterday when I took the box down, she climbed out (see her tail?) and sat on the side and nibbled my hand!! A month ago she would have ripped the skin off! Photo taken yesterday 3rd November: Edited November 4, 2006 by karen Link to comment

Do you see the tiny black dots on the very top of the head near the cere of the oldest? Normal coloured babies get that all over they bodies as the start of down feather showing. Link to comment

They are all okay. Their colour is darkening so they might not be violet after all. Link to comment
