These are my mom's birds. As it turns out, 3 hens decided they would all have the same nest / feed tub to hatch babies. At first it was the twin sisters and then red decides to join in. It was so funny. Whenever one or two would leave the nest, when they got back on they would dig some eggs out from under whoever stayed on the nest because she would have put them all under her. So then some chicks hatched and mom put 1 hen (pictured below) in a separate place and now 2 are left on the nest. I guess the other twin will get the next chicks and red will get the last ones

This one got the first chicks to hatch. I guess the next chicks go to one of the others
