We are very excited.
Mom & chicks are doing well.
Thanks for all who responded when I thought my hen was ill.
She enjoyed the extra lovin and stretching her legs for a few minutes.

My first hatch - 7 out of 9 (but the day is not over).
Mom Looks good, and the chicks appear to be healthy.
Keeping my fingers crossed for the last 2 eggs to hatch.
My hen is sitting, chicks are due 8/7/11
I noticed this morning that her comb & waddle are pale.
Could she be sick?
She has food and water, so that she does not have to get off the eggs to eat or drink.
My hen is due to hatch her first eggs 8/4/2011
She seems to be doing very well.
I need to get prepared for the arrivals.
I know that I will keep my rooster penned, however, will mom take over once hatched.
I have a secure area for her and her chicks to stay, but need to know if I need to have...
