Hi,

Just wanted to drop a note about my chicken Mamas. They had an incredible hatch rate. Mama1 had 13 eggs and hatched 9 babies. I threw out the 4 eggs when I moved her to a bigger brooder. Mama2 had 14 eggs and hatched 13 babies!! I couldn't believe it, especially since what I thought was the last chick to hatch was horribly cold and had been pecked at by Mama2 when I helped it get through the membrane. And then 3 more hatched after this!!!! 2 of the 13 hatched didn't make it, but that's 11 out of 14 survival rate. It made me feel bad that I had thrown out those 4 eggs of Mama1, won't do that again. Everyone is doing well and eating tons.

love ya,
Marion
