After momma hen got off nest, I removed it. No life in remaining eggs. 1 unfertilized, 3 with developed chicks. Will crack open and investigate later. No time right now. Gotta help with new pen construction.
Little momma doing good, defending chicks and still integrated into main adult flock.
Long story short....I have lots of reading to do on separating and integrating flock. In less than 5 minutes this morning my rooster went in cage I opened and killed 1 of my pullets from last batch I incubated and hatched. So now I am onto getting everybody separated until I know lots more. Priorities change hourly around here.
Momma hen bringing out new babies for first time. She is being a good little momma so far.

Moma hen got out of nest this morning while I was gone to pick up materials and welder to build new pen. There are 7 live, healthy babies. All seem happy even with the new construction underway.
Roos are courting their ladies. My roos have a very high fertility rate. Much better than my incubating and hatching ratios. But I am going to change that!!
Everybody here happy the sun came out.
