So sweet! Your pictures are great! My Broody is exhausted too. She keeps falling asleep even if my kids are loud in the coop. How can you tell how many eggs are left and how many have hatched? Has she gotten up a little?Would you expect the broody mama to be exhausted? Maybe the chicks kept her up all night hatching...she can hardly keep her eyes open unless the chicks are out from under her. She has already taught some of them to eat, and I had to grab some dirt and feed for them - I was thinking I had a day or two for that. Still at 5 chicks, 3 eggs left...probably duds but I'll let her decide how long to keep the eggs. She hasn't gotten up, still sitting on the eggs. I am having a ball, it is so much fun to see the babies burrow under her feathers. here you can see one beak sticking out with the two chicks out and about and another.... You know I have the mystery rooster from that woman....he is the dad. Two welsummer moms, two astrolorp moms, two amercana moms - one of those might be a dud egg.
