I lifted the front end of the hen up, saw the unhatched egg when all of a sudden I got a fright from a small fluffy ball falling from under the wing of the hen! The first of four, the other three are still unhatched but there are signs of them hatching. I think this one may be male, the comb is quite distinct already. Its sire is probably Tetley.

I put my hand under the hen and drew out these two (the one behind is the first one presenting its new bigger little sibling): You might notice a little serated thing on its head, which makes me think it's male. Then I put my hand under the other hen and drew out these two: The black one is most certainly Raven's. The other three are probably from Tetley, or maybe Bamboo if he got through the tolerant yet suppresive guard of Tetley and Raven. Their provisional names are Big Yellow, Little Yellow, Stripey and Blacky. Mothers (Twig and Ivy) are doing very well as well. If I were a chick they'd be the hens that I'd choose to rear me

I couldn't find the black one for a while, so hidden in the nest! That scared me because things can go wrong very easily in the first few days. Little Yellow is very intelligent it seems. It was chasing after my girlfriends hand! And when she stood up from crouching its head followed her movement! That's something I've never seen, chicks usually miss anything bigger than their mother!
