Broody hen

[ginasmarans]

I have 2 broodies left on eggs. One just hatched 6 chicks. She had 3 chicks die before hatching and has 3 eggs left. I will leave her on the eggs until tomorrow,then move her and the chicks and slide the unhatched eggs to the other hen. I think she hatches her eggs in a few ays. These are just mixed chicks,but they're cuties.

I'll see what I can do. I don't have a digital camera,it's on my list. The last little chickie did not make it. It had intestines hanging out and I put it down. One more egg got smashed with a chick inside and it died. I moved the hen and chicks to another cage and put the remaining teo eggs under the other broody. She should be hatching in a few days.
