I just went out to peek, the chicks are quite, egg#3 is quite
broody #2 is on her now 5 eggs, she stepped on one and poked a hole in it,

All in all I think things are good.

1 hen and 1 black chick 😱. Hen ate, pooed and let me know she wasn't happy I put that chick BACK in the nest with 3 eggs left 😖🤫. She jumped back to her job. Being cool, she'll stay there to keep this new chick warm. Others need to pip....I don't want to have to crank up a bator!!! 😡

To be continued.....🫣
