This is exactly what I needed to know - thank you so much! I will stop worrying and let her get on with being a mom. :)

My wyandotte hatched some chicks at the end of August and has been a spectacular mom...perhaps too spectacular. She is still not separated from them, although she gives them a good bit of freedom. They're still sleeping together, she still makes sure they eat first, etc. My concern is that her...

Unfortunately, there wasn't really one, other than she stopped sleeping in the doorway. She is no longer with us, but I could see it happening again with a new chicken. It's a shame because I'm otherwise very satisfied with the door. Is your girl okay? Lucky that you saw it happening.
