update, even though i am sure it's not as important to anyone else mama looks so much better after pooping. i mean, hands down the best she has looked. she is going to need a bath once everyone is hatched, but she is fine otherwise. i've had to handle her twice to change out the explosion and the poop and there is not a sign anywhere of mites which makes me think that i did in fact catch it pretty early and i am so thankful for that. she is a GREAT mama. they pecked at her eyes and she didn't really even do much except raise her head! she scoots them to where they should be and cleans them up. we had one hatch out too early-- the first one. really bloody shell and i knew something was going to be wrong. its navel is still trying to close, but it's dry and there are no signs of infection. just a very weak chick right now.
i believe 8 of the 14 have hatched, but i am not sure. the first chick hatched some time between 4 and 7am today, so i am expecting everyone to be out when i wake up tomorrow.
