Hi:) I had my first 2 baby chicks hatch with one of my own hens!!!

The question I have is, I always thought the mom would get off of the nest after the chicks were hatched- this is day 2 of her persisting to sit. I was wondering if that means more chicks are about to hatch??

It's pretty amazing how God created the animals to know all of this!!!
Ok chicken loving rant over :)
 
The hen got off the nest yesterday after-noon and has stayed off. I believe she is done sitting.
I'll post pictures of the little chicks that did hatch:)
 
Only two eggs hatched, but I'm happy just with that! This is my first successful hatching with a hen. One of the babies is half Favorelle/Sumatra and the other is Favorelle/buff polish:)
