And Tamar's still broody. Working on getting eggs for her...

Four of five are roosting with Martha!

One is crying, alone in the brooder. It must be LC.

What a great picture!

Thank you! I counted six hens on the roost, saw Martha with them. When I realized that some chicks were with her, I took a picture with my phone.

She came down to the brooder for LC. I bet she'll try again tomorrow night.
