Yayyy!
Today (day 23) I went up this morning to find one little chick poking it's head out from underneath mum.
This evening I went down again to find 5 more 
So far I have 4 black with a yellow chest, one  black speckled and one yellow with a brown chest.

Thanks i'm so happy!
I didn't think they were going to hatch as I didn't intervene once and i'm glad i left her sat on till day 23.

Ah, this morning mum stood up properly and shook all her feathers out out rolled a little cream bundle of fluff! 
That makes 7, 5 black 1 yellow and 1 cream

you did well to not disturb mum which is what I always recommend (hard as it may be not to peek) and really looking forward to seeing more photos of all 7 chicks

Congratulations on the chicks. Has mum brought them out to show off now? Would love to see more pics.

She's being a very good mum for a first timer and she does growl at me when i try and feed them and calls them over to sit under her feathers when i'm cleaning the hutch so it is hard to get photos but here are some

Oh no they said the file is too big  I will try again tomorrow!
