Chicks are hatching - but a potential issue

[Kellyjenny]

Great news. 100% hatch rate! All 9 eggs hatched, and the one she pecked, I figured she was helping it out. She's a great mother. For a sebright, 9 chicks is sort of a handful. But she's happy after 3 weeks of sitting!
I'll try to get some pics tomorrow or early next week

Congratulations

Turns out she's an amazing mother (as I thought!).
I want to attach some videos, but not sure how... can anyone help?
Thx

The hatch actually went against all odds.

- These eggs were not from our flock - they were from our cousins flock which consists of 1 black cochin rooster, to 20 hens. The ratio already is not very ideal,
- The bantam rooster at my cousins is quite small compared to ALL of the standard hens. Usually standards don't allow the bantams to do their thing...
- The broody sebright pooped on the eggs, yet they all still hatched
- The broody came of the eggs every day for up to 20 minutes.
- I've never had 100% hatch rate, even in my flock (usually at least 5 roosters to 30 hens, that's a 6-1 ratio).

All in all, I am shocked (in a good way) at the hatch results. It almost seems impossible.
