Elizabeth, what I have done in the past, was take the chicks that hatch, so the hen will not leave the nest, then give them back at night after all chicks hatch. While I brood them, I taught them to eat and gave them water.

4 more are zipping, and another 7 or so still in the shell but peeping.

4 out, 4 zips, some that still need to incubate.
