So far so good, the chicks are as vocal as ever, mom is doing a good job and I have finally persuaded her to try a bit of egg.

It seems everything is going well for the moment! :)

Thanks!

Quick question, I have talked to some other people as well but I just want to be triply sure, now that the chicks are 2 weeks old is it normal for the mom to sleep off the nest. I know i tend to fret too much but I can't help it!

I was told by debbie276 that "Around 10 days old the parents may not sit so much anymore" - I had asked a similar question, as my hen stopped staying in nest overnight at around 8-9 days after hatching
