Second broody hen hatched out five chicks over night. I have not been able to totally access their health yet but they seem fine. Will leave them in the coop for a month or so. So out of six eggs 5 are hatched out not a bad success rate. Plan on giving two of the chicks to the Hamiltons. I had given them one of my other broody hens but she did not hatch any of the clutch she was sitting on.
First batch of chicks are getting big. Argos caught another stray the other night and once again it survived the ordeal. Eric and I need to clip their wings soon.
