Phoenix chicks hatched last night

[klb25]

My (suspected) black breasted red Phoenix had three eggs hatch last night on day 25! She's my first broody hen and is still sitting on one last egg.

They're doing great, thank you! The fourth egg didn't hatch but I'm thrilled with the three little chicks!

The mama has wandered back into the coop a couple times (she is in an elevated kennel with the chicks) and another hen is being aggressive towards her. Is that a normal thing? I have another coop attached, just separated by chain link, where I have a dozen 7 week old Starlight pullets. I'm thinking of putting the mama and babies in with them.

So adorable! Sorry to here the last egg didn't hatch but it happens.
