Lollypop's Chicks


So after losing a bunch of ready to hatch eggs a couple weeks ago when our breaker got thrown, YESTERDAY storms hit and we lost power JUST as another small batch of chicks were hatching.  What is it with me losing power! Gack! 
Anyway, I left the eggs alone but as time went on the two chicks that managed to hatch were just laying there and the pipped eggs had stopped.  It was clear we were losing them.  So I went outside, picked up my daughter’s BARELY thinking about setting hen, put her in a rabbit hutch and closed the lid.  Ran in the house, scooped up the two chilled chicks and the eggs, ran back and put them ALL under this poor bewildered FIRST time broody – and closed the lid.  This morning I opened the lid and YAY!!!!  Here’s what I found!
