UMMM as of last night not yet finished I checked on her at about 6pm and got to see this
The Christmas Eve ones are getting big
Last count I think I have seen 5 maybe 6 different chicks.
Haven t checked on her yet this morning was just going to do that I bet she is ready to get up!
I have been giving her food and water and the chicks are eating as well.
I am learning alot from this with patience being top of the list. I will Never just say *Fine you may have those eggs* again. I will collect and plan for the hatch. I really thought she would get up at some point my last 2 broodies had rotten chicks or they killed them all.
They are cute *Yard Chicks* I might have to post pick of the babies and the possible donors see who matches up with whom
Thats a weather report for ya
Close call is acceptable i guess

She is being a great mama so far. This is my first hatch and I feel a lot like CH33 but I was told if I touch the broodie I could injure the chicks and so I have not peeked under the hood
