Help! Mama Hen has had just 1 egg hatch!

They have always gone voluntarily. My current mama w/babies has shown a lit of hesitation about mingling with the flock. She stays in her area exclusively and hasn't brought the chicks out yet (even though the door is open every morning). She'll bring them out when she's ready, and she'll take them to the big coop when she's ready, too. At least, that's been my experience.

Fascinating! And with full access by each flock member, no other chickens go mess with the separate coop?

No, oddly. She took them out for the first time just this past weekend. The other hens haven't gone into the mini-coop as far as I know.
