Update: mama is off the nest. Not sure if it was her choice or she was bullied off but she's laying down in the middle of the coop with all the babies under her. Still hear chirping so they're ok.

I cleaned up her nest and grabbed the final egg. Not a single pip. I candeled it. Didn't see a thing. I finally opened it. Just runny yolk. So I guess I was right when I first candeled them all and noticed that one was clear.

She'll be out and about soon enough. You're gonna be hooked after this I highly doubt anyone is going to be bullying her, they all know there is a ball of crazy under all those feathers, lol

Yep! She's been walking around the coop with them. All 4 following around like little soldiers! Looks like she's settled them down again in a nest box. Surprisingly, a completely different nest box than the one she's been using!

Onyx always picks the left corner of the coop for her sleeping area when she has chicks, your lady will find her spot. You'll be amazed how agile those little boogers get. I'm so excited for you!

I'm really loving watching mom with her babies. It's so beautiful. No issues since the Barred Rock drama this morning. She's been taking them to drink and eat a lot and then back under her. Those little stinkers are so bold! They're just running around like they own the place. She looks annoyed they won't stay closer. Haha
