Re: [CHICKENS-101] Six chicks now...

OH yeah, she laid the first batch of eggs and then the other hens started adding to it. She is a good mom and usually shares the nest and the eggs with Lacy. They raise the chicks together and share with each other. If they don't hatch tons of chicks I will probably take her away as soon as the chicks are really mobile and send her on to you. Lacy will take over for her.

This is Fancy with Piccolina, she is a late summer hatch that was Fancy/Lacy chicks.

Here's another of the two of them. They were inseparable but now she is
chasing poor Piccolina out of the coop. I think Picco wants to get in the nest with "moms"!
