“She can’t do it!” “It’s too many!” Mama Pauline has a (very strong) will and has indeed found a way

Just did the first candling to check development on Mama Pauline’s batch of 18. All but one (ironically, the only bantam egg) was developing right on schedule! I honestly didn’t expect her to be THIS successful. I will check again in a week or so to make sure development is on track.

So, enjoy this clip of me trying to give back her brood and her doing her best Jurassic Park dilophosaurus impression.

The literal exact moment I go out to get her previous babies for their new owner, I find mama Pauline back on the nest…

So anyways, enjoy her claiming her new brood of 18 bym eggs. I ordered 12 but the farmer was kind enough to throw some extras in. I wonder how many she’ll be able to hatch out? Her mom was able to hatch and raise 12 Brahma and EE chicks, so I think she’ll manage quite a bit from this batch.

Idk if Carlton is even actually a bantam because he’s the same size as his non-bantam EE sister. I don’t remember what breeds the store had in stock when I bought these, just that they had EEs, bantam silkies, and “assorted bantams” in the same bin. I told the TSC employee to just grab a random bantam and he grabbed Carlton, said “i think this might be one?”

Maybe a Wyandotte or an Orpington? Sapphire Gem?

Unsexed froglet so they need a gender neutral name. I really want something funny and crazy, like Beef or Wawa, something along those lines.

I know they use AI on some of their other stuff, but is this AI also? The weird curved hairs on the right make me think it could be
