And you gave her 5 (1 clear) eggs right? She made short work of that

Yeah it all happened so fast! I'm guessing the last won't hatch because the 5th didn't look full like the others when I candled. 4 out of 5 is pretty great!

Hahaha right?! It's amazing how big they can make themselves. This is the image right after that one when she attacked my phone.

I'm just going to leave her alone now...

What kind of eggs did you get for her?

Black Copper Marans! Hoping for a cockerel that will grow into the flock leader.

The babies look like cute little penguins poking out from under broody.

Ok so another question... is it normal for her to not give up on the final egg? The babies are all full of energy and bouncing out of the nest box. The other hens seem to mostly ignore them, thankfully. I put some mash close to mama and she ate and called the babies over. Everyone ate. But she wouldn't get up. I saw her tuck that egg back under her.
