I got up this morning and checked the calendar. Yep Miss Priss is going to be a momma. She's been sitting on 15 eggs for 21 days as of today. When I got up this morning to let the chickens out I checked on her. I heard peeping!. So far there there are 5 partially hatched peeping chicks. and she's helping them! As soon as she hears peeping coming from an eggs she pokes a hole or two in in it. 3 of the chicks are half out and I think she's eaten 1/2 of their shells. the ones I saw when she got up to get a drink and stretch her legs were still curled in the shell. They looked black.
More pictures later today
