Those little Irish can struggle a bit with rearing bigger youngsters but a eye kept on them and a top up by yourself if needed and they should be fine,i'd just watch her when they get bigger than she is and she'll find it right hard work and might give up feeding them before there ready and weaned as such themselves.Iv'e got my fingers crossed for you and it's always down to the birds at the end of the day what happens...

  She's a good hen she's reared plenty she's a 2018 hen. When they get to nearly fledgling I will give them the odd mealworm

As it's not very far from me i used to use Morley aviaries own moist egg food,it never goes sour and my birds used to seem to like it as they'd be on it asap when i refreshed there  bowls daily with it,i'd also hard boil a chook egg and just mash it a bit then let them have it.Food is a sort of thing you try this and that when starting off but settle on one that's suits yours and the birds needs,my main seed was countywise greenfinch mix and i'd just add extra's to that..
