Came home at lunch today to one cute fluffy chick and then another three after work! Looks like one more egg pipped and the other two no action so far! Here are the chicks!

I've only had 1 successful broody hen hatch and raise her hens to adulthood. The other 3 or 4 that tried let their chicks get killed by the other hens.

good luck! Looking good so far! Ideally, IMO...this is the best way to raise a new batch of chicks. I wish all my hens would do this and be good mothers.

Yeah hopefully she is able to integrate them with my 3 other hens, hoping not to have to separate them!

The "Travy" cam set up so I can check on them at work, caught some cute little explorers out and about.

Following! Our girls are a year old, we haven't had anyone go broody yet. My dream is to let them hatch some chicks!

So awesome! We hatched Travis and her clutch mates last April using an incubator, so she is a year old too! So this year we thought to give her a chance at being a mama!
