So, my broody sat on a bunch of eggs, and three of them hatched on Tuesday and into Wednesday. They're all doing great - last I checked, she was teaching them how to take a dirt bath
I checked the egg boxes before going inside, and noticed that one of the unhatched eggs is peeping, and has already zipped!!! We will have another chick probably sometime this afternoon!
Mama hen has already been out and about, exploring with her babies. Do you think she will still take this one under her wing when and if she discovers it inside the coop tonight? Or should I be preparing the brooder?
