Sooo precious!

Thank you for the pictures!

They're really cute! If the others take too long to hatch she'll either leave them or the ones that have hatched won't make it. If they haven't hatched by tomorrow night you should probably either take the eggs away or put the hatched babies in a brooder - you could try to sneak them food and water but mine usually don't make it.

Good luck.

well theyre in a brooder now
i put there mom in there today
i hatched these in the incubator
the eggs she has i let her keep in the coop
so i put her in the brooder with them today and she def doesnt like me getting near the babies

Sounds like you're doing it right. Mine don't let me touch the babies either.

Sorry, to laugh but I busted up about the adults hating on you

Try not to lose any blood, and enjoy your new babies (from a safe distance lol)
