We have four hens sitting on a bunch of eggs and they are all at different phases of development. This sweet mama (who also hatched out five chicks 6 months ago) hatched another! I went to collect eggs and heard little chirps! She is already so protective of her. I moved her out of the nesting box so her and baby could get food and water while sitting on the rest of her clutch. She is soooo thin which means she has been dedicated the last 15-21 days to her eggs sacrificing her own body. Talk about a real mama!
