Mother Hen with her Family
The most appropriate times for eggs to hatch in a natural way are autumn, that is October/November, and spring which is March/ April . This year the autumn hatch was not very successful and out of fourteen eggs only a few hatched ,perhaps it was the delayed hot weather.
Whatever the reason, the mother hen was over possessive and was not too keen to pose for pictures. She wouldn`t let me come closer as you can see in the pictures ,she has spread her wings and is raring for an attack, anyway, the little ones are cute and adorable and its fun to watch them.
