Thanks. That's what I was thinking last night. Because we have had a problem
coon this summer I put her and the babies and the nest in a big plastic
container and brought them in the house last night. Wanted to see what would
happen next and protect the two tiny chicks. This morning she has the eggs and
the chicks under her and made a loud warning noise when I went into the room to
check on her. The chicks are eating and drinking and "talking" to mom. If the
eggs haven't hatched in a couple more days I will toss them. This Serama hen is
a terrific mom! This is her second hatch.
When I opened the back door to the porch last night to let our chihuahua out she
attacked the dog and came into the house chasing her! Had to do a little
intervention and calm down the shaking dog!
