My first momma hen! :)

So last year, July 9th, I hatched a chick that was a road island red roo crossed with a light brahma hen, she grew up fast, she laid her first egg in December, and now she is broody

She lost her first batch at day five
Then she lost her sceond batch on day one,

But she is on her thrid batch and she is on day 11
I'm so excited because she hasn't gotten this far before

There's only two though cuz the other 3 didn't make it.

I forgot to put her picture up
Her name is Blair, and she is very sweet, she doesn't even try to peck at me if I touch her eggs

She is such a lovely GIRL!
Do you have any questions because I will be happy to answer them?

Yes I do, thanks for asking, I was wondering if I move the chicks after they hatch will she stay with them or go back to the nesting box? I moved her on day one but she wouldn't stay so I'm worried that she won't stay with them if i move them. I have to move them though because the nesting box is over 4 feed off the ground.

She will probably stay with them so don't worry.
