Momma hen #2 hatched out 6 of 12 eggs (on left). Momma hen #3 (on right) hatched out 3 of 6 eggs. After first day off nest for momma #3 the babies all migrated to momma #2. They could not get back up to nest. So I just grabbed 3 of them and put in nest. 1 stuck to momma #3. The other 2 migrated back to hen #2. So all 9 alive between both momma hens. Chicken math much more favorable for me the natural way.

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.
