The Adventure Continues.... 2nd Generation Begins

Are all of those peachicks

Yes they are. One more hatched at 10PM and waiting on the last one. Then they will go into the bigger brooder. @Crestcrazy. Bill is right, there is a treasure trove of info in the stickies tab and @KsKingBee is the Peacock Whisperer.

Thanks for the advice Bill @KsKingBee. I tried to separate the co-mommies early on but they wouldn't have it. Quite aggressive with me.
Of the incubator eggs, I had one egg quit early on, 4 are now in brooder and the last 2 pipped today. Mommies on the nest are not due till the 14th.

Congratulations!

One thing that will help when two hens set the same nest is to make sure they have lots of nesting material in the nest box so they are cramped together and less likely to chill eggs.
