It is just really hard. I love all my birds so much that it breaks my heart when one doesn't make it.
And I'm so excited for you (and me lol)!!! Did they all go into lockdown? I set 14 a couple days ago, several of them from Dusty and Fawn. My first little babies are growing like weeds! Their little tails are sticking straight up and their wings are hanging low

Sorry, I kiss, nuzzle, hug and get my chickens as close to my face as possible and all of my Seramas live inside. I haven't died in 4 years or gotten sick so I figure I'm good

If she is ok with them, then I would definitely let her raise them. My serama girl raised babies and did great. I just made sure I handled them everyday. She wasn't happy lol but I let her know that I was in charge and would handle them whenever and as much as I wanted. She got used to it but kept a very careful eye on me lol.

I say go with your gut then. That is what I always do. The first time I let a broody raise my babies I was really worried they wouldn't be friendly but by handling them all the time, they were super friendly.
