This cheeky girl has been broody for a few weeks and chose a spot far back on the floor of the coop behind the roosts so I would leave her alone. Unlike most of her sisters she went back to the same spot after a food/toilet break. I was just about to clean out the chook house and evict her when I saw her crouching in the yard with way too many legs sticking out. conf665

They are so tiny. Dad is a blue barred leghorn and mum could be any of the following ;

Araucana (many colours)
Barnevelder
Australorp
Light Sussex
ISA
Barred Plymouth Rock

I've ruled out a few. Will have to check the egg shells. LOL It will be interesting to see how they turn out.

Hey PP, No Phlox isn't mum. This is one of my other Araucanas (As yet unnamed). The one most like Phlox though. :) Phloxie is the smallest of my flock. This one is a a fair bit bigger and fluffier. I thinking the chicks are probably Araucanas as they are so small.
