Okay so I'm so happy that my hen, Sheila, hatched out 12 babies!!!! I want sure at first, but she turned out to be a great momma, and I'm glad I decided to try out a broody hen for the first time! Here are the three color variations of the twelve chicks:
Silver:

Yellowish- brown:

And black:

.
Sorry bad pics- any idea on breed? I know it's really hard to tell but just wondering! Also, any tips for a first timer hatching out eggs with a broody hen? Thanks for any help you may be able to offer!!

Congratulations to you...You will now have the pleasure of watching little mama care and train her chicks how to be chickens!!!! so much better with a broody...so easy...she does all the work, isn't God great....I am blessed with 7 broody hens and would never discourage one when she wants to set....In bad times it will be the broodies that will keep my flock growing and the chicks are stronger (only my opinion)..what breed is shelia? The chicks are beautiful...What breed rooster do you have...? So much fun....
