Those chicks are so sweet!I built the nest box and roost bar section so I could remove it without destroying a nest.
This is a picture of barking mad Bracket sitting on her clutch that produced the chicks in the picture below. Considering I'm cleaning the coop with a paint scraper and brush and swept behind Bracket, it incredible that she and other hens will just sit there and let me work around them.

She had six eggs and two dummies. She ate one of the eggs which was probably not fertile or not developing. One other had hatching problems. She hatched 4. Here they are.

The house nest box is getting busy. Hurry has got the hang of egg laying now and doesn't wander off thinking the egg is out, only do drop it a few moments after she's left the nest box.
