6 babies this moriniing!!!! so freaking cute! still have 2 to go and she is sitting tight,do i need to worry about the others getting hungry,or will the be ok,the first one was out tues morning. do i need a heat lamp on them,its been sort of cold and wet here,they are in a dry area,just wondering if mom is all the warmth they need!

Mama is warm enough for them but you might want to set out some chick starter and water for them. They can generally go for about two days before eating so if you can set it really close to mama so she isn't tempted to get off of the nest that would be best.

I have 6 new Delaware chicks! I put them all with broody #1. Broody #2 and #3 are still sitting. Broody #3 really isn't due for another day or so, as I recall she started a day or two after the first two.

Don't you know the rules? You can not make an announcement like that without pictures!

Pictures, anyone?​

I had such a hard time getting pics. I sat in the little coop until I couldn't move my legs and feet and all I got was a few crappy pics. But here they are. So far 5 out of 8. Ok since I am rather new and I got my original chicks at two weeks.....are they really that small??? One I got the pic of is a pretty good size but two others are soooo small. Their head is the size of a marble??? They look healthy though. I will try to get pics of them tomorrow. \\
