Thankyou. No more chicks yet, hopefully today! Do you know roughly how many of the 9 eggs on average will hatch?

You're welcome ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Nine is a big number for any hen. Once chicks starts to hatch, she is so busy feeding them that last one or two eggs don't get proper incubation. So my bet is on seven, if all are fertile.

If she is in breeding condition, she will lay once last baby starts to feather up, but it depends on individual hens.

Hi BB, just to say 6eggs hatched out of the 9! the last one would've hatched today if it was going to, but they have been rolled about so much now I don't think it will. All the chicks are well fed and doing fine. Thank you for all your advise with helping me with my first breeding pair

My Hen is again in the lying mood.The single baby has grown feathers and in next week will be out of the cage.He is curious and always looking out of the nest.
