We now have at least 7 chicks bustling about the coop. Both moms are apparently sharing duties. Three eggs were abandoned in Rita's nest. I'm thinking they have to be the 3 eggs I accidentally dropped in the straw. So sorry Rita, we are both sad. But, 7 out of a possible 10 on the first hatch. . . NOT BAD! I learned alot that's for sure. Now we wait for the big day when I feel safe enough to let them out of the coop.
