She was sitting on 3 eggs and this is what I found when I went to check on Her.
When I went back to get more pictures the baby was under her I am guessingIdid not see it so I did not move her.

What do I do Now?
 
As long as they have fresh food and water close by and aren't where the other chickens can get at them you just sit back and watch the cuteness.

As for what to do now, make sure the chick has a source of water where it can't drown itself, like a tune can with some marbles or rock in it,
and starter feed separate from Mama's feed.
Least thats what I been instructed.....

WAY TO GOOOOOOOOOO!!
 
Very cute chick and proud mama.

Ummm, how do you feed the chick separate from the mama?
 
I heard that momma hens can have chick starter when they are broody, so just give momma and the chick, chick starter. CONGRATS!!!
