Loved the video! It's apparent she's a great mom. Wonder what her hatch rate was? Did you not notice she was missing all this time? I'd say she's one lucky hen to have survived for 3 weeks in the woods. She must have had a good hiding place.
Congratulations on the new additions to your flock!
I have two hens who are Rhode Island red crossed with silver laced Wynadottes. A very pretty combo and I love em, they are my favorite hens...one is the leader of my flock and is the friendliest of all. Visit my page to see what they look like.

Why? She brought her babies back to her flock. Why not let her integrate them on her own terms? Setting and hatching by herself, then returning with chicks, is the natural or usual order of things. Why did you feel it was necessary to interfere?
C-U-T-E
congrats! :]
one of our hens likes to lay in this dog house that none of our dogs is remotly interested in, and one day i hope (and wish) that shes gonna come strolling out of there and 5-15 little ones will come fallowing her
good luck with those chicks!
do keep us updated on them
i would love to see them grow up, and see what they look like as full grown adults
