She's moved around and got herself situated. All the chicks are under her! One more check and then set the alarm for 5:30. ugh!

I think it will go well or at least I hope so. I'll look for an update tomorrow

All good this morning. Chickens aren't really up yet, but momma is still settled in. I can see the edge of one chick and hear soft peeps. I think we're in good shape. I'll try to get some pics later.

Here's Mom with her new adoptees. I'm sure she's thinking she's a good hen since she's only been sitting on 2 eggs and suddenly there are 11 chicks this morning!

Hopefully photo will work

She has a kind of 'where did you come from?' look on her face!
