Egg #5 hatched over night, it's a really full house here  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

bcbird:
Hoo! 
I definitely didn't know what a brood patch was, and the sight was just amazing. 
So that is why there is always that shuggle over the eggs as they settle!
Thanks, Carly.

Kinderchick:  This might be a good one to share with the chicklets?  It's very cute, nothing that would traumatize the wee ones  :-*

Thank you for this, carly!  :D Yes! I will show it to the 'chicklets next week. Very interesting! I, myself, did not know what a "brood patch" is! I actually thought it was a whole "patch/bunch" of chicks, as in cabbages that grow in a cabbage patch! ::)

moka:
Great sight! thank you, Carly.

Ellie:
Thanks Carly.  It was great to see what is often referred to in our forum as "the brood patch".  Very good article with picture.  Not only the "kinderchicklets" will be happy to see this........I sure did! :)
