chicks just hatched under broody!!

[mandymoo]

just been out to check on Peggy, my broody, and there were 2 chicks peeping out! when she came out of her nest, i went to check the other eggs, and there are still 3 unhatched (day 21 today) and also 1 egg is missing...it was there a couple of days ago, so i'm not sure if she's eaten it?

i got a mixed batch of eggs, so i'm not sure what the chicks are...the eggs i got were cream legbar, speckled sussex, silver spangled hamburgh bantam and silver appenzellar

hope the pics will upload so you can see them...i'm soo excited!!
