Updates: the second clutch is hatching! So far, there are 6 chicks out of 9 eggs. It's a bit colder here now, so I hope that the hen can keep them nice and warm.
Overall, this second broody hen is much calmer and looks like she knows what she's doing.
I also bought some leg tags to keep track of the chickens - which ones are older, which ones were broody and so on. Most of them are New Hampshires and I can't tell them apart.
