Despite abandoning her eggs after the first one hatched under her, I've been super happy with how receptive this mama hen has been to daily additions added under her wings.
For what ever reason after the first hatched, she killed one in egg and then left the box. I came home to one chick almost fully out, one dead with yolk attached, and all of them cold from being unattended. I rushed them into the incubator inside. I'm honestly surprised with how resilient the eggs have been; with each day one more hatches!

They are all mutts lol. A few of the adults including the Roo came from a barnyard mix of eggs when I first started. They're a rainbow.
