Help - Questions - First time with a broody hen

[mrsgibber]

I put her out in the chicken pen inside the dog kennel (which is not a typical open wire one) and covered her up in tarps to keep the rain out. She's been out there since Thursday afternoon and all is going well. I had to separate her from the big girls who started picking on her when she came out for a break.

We candled one egg Saturday night (we were only able to get one out from under her...she is quite the protective Mama) and it looks to be doing well....all full of blood vessels. I have to get a better light to look at them with but I'll be happy if we get even one chick out of this experience.
