5 at the final count

new chicks, new home 

Disappointingly we have ended up with 5 chicks , after her sitting on 11 eggs.
-1 'escaped' from under her early on, was found cold , and was removed
-1 chick died in the egg, not having developed properly
-3 were infertile

And to prove that in real life  it all isn't  nice and fluffy and sweet little chicks , one died shortly after emerging from the egg.

So 5 it is  .
