Possible hatchlings?? Help! Advice?!

[Sassy-ChikN Mom]

Cuties! Congrats!
Sadly, it can be hard to go without casualties. I lost 2 when my broody hatched babies, one failed to thrive and I found the other dead not to long after hatch. Congratulations on your survivors! Its such a fun experience.

Thanks so much, yes they have been a joy to watch. And I never knew how good chicken mommas are!
Aside from her squishing one, which honestly I think was a total fluke.

Will the other hens kill baby chicks?

It will depend. I would not introduce them baby baby on their own but if the mom is brooding them then the mama hen should feircely protect her young. They know not to mess with the mom.

Chick mamas always are the best moms! If you squished it then it probsbly was a fluke.glad to hear things are going good!
