What is the highest number of baby chicks your hen has hatched? My Hen did 20

[SplatterhouseCorrupt]

How many chicks is a lot for your hens to hatch? My hen hatched 18 on her own.
I have an Australorp I bought as at a few days old, this is her first clutch, she hatched 10 of her eggs and 8 of the Americanas that she shared a cage with. I had 2 more (one of each of theri's) in the incubator, and all 20 hatched within 24 hours, so I threw the 2 from the incubator in with the 18 she hatched on her own. They are all still alive, all 20. So how many is the most chicks you people have had your hens hatch?

I also had 5 other chicks hatch 3 days after this, and just added them with the pack, so right now there are 25 baby chicks all with this one hen.

How is it going? Is she in the flock or separated?

My bantam hatched 11 once, but it was rough and only one made it to adulthood.

She raised 7 to weaning the time before then though, 4 of hers and 3 shipped chicks
