We have two babies!

(I have figured out the smileys). One hatched Sat. and the next on Sunday. We moved babies, mama and third egg to new broody pen Sunday night. The eggs were laid over a four to five day period when we were gone and forgot to ask the chickie-sitter to collect the eggs. Mama deserted the egg Tuesday, so I stuck it under my other broody hen, but I am not optimistic - it was cold when I got home from work and found mama was no longer sitting on it. We are going to give the other broody a few more days with it. We have looked at it with a flashlight, but don't know what to look for. The air bubble moves around except for one area - is this normal or not a good sign? I'm still very glad to have the two babies who seem to be doing well.
