Mama Hen's babies have started to hatch!
Unfortunately, fire ants invaded her nest and killed the first chick. She's now in a new, safe nest in the shop, away from ants. I had to pull her out of the nest and successfully avoided getting bitten, though she tried hard! The whole time she was looking for a chance to bite me and squawking her displeasure. I put her down in front of her nest, she walked away from it. I was really afraid she would reject them, but she apparently just needed to relieve herself because she let out a couple good sized poops and went straight back to her nest. I'll put her back outside when her babies are fully fluffed. Now I just have to make sure the other Mama Hen gets put inside before her babies start hatching!
