She is a fantastic mama! She comes out of the nest box even less than she did when she was just setting eggs. And when she does, she goes back in almost immediately because the baby stands outside the box cheeping as loud as you please for Mama to come back! It is precious!

I'm gonna post some pics here in a minute...

I was thinking of MAYBE hatching out some of my own NEXT spring...when my "chicken legs" are a little stronger and I would be more confident (and, honestly, more prepared if I failed). And when Maxine went broody, I was hopeful, but un-expecting. What an absolute thrill to have experienced this!
