There are four chicks now! And a fifth is starting to hatch!
They are sooo cute :) and Momma is being really good, she purrs at them and tucks them under her. We gave her a little pile of food and a dish of water so she won't be to tempted to leave the nest. I was wrong about the egg count, she's sitting on about a dozen eggs! We're trying to decide what to do with her/chicks location wise. They need to be moved to the other smaller coop so the big hens won't bother them, but we don't want to move momma and risk her leaving the eggs. We're thinking about bringing the chicks in the house as they hatch so we can keep them warm and safe until the rest hatch.
