Hi,
I have a (first time mum) broody Dorking hen which has been sitting on eggs for the full 21 days. The first chick hatched earlier today, but my broody doesnt seem to have any maternal instincts. If the chick pops her head out from beneath the hen, mum pecks at it ( and this hurts as i have...
Any ideas how to tell the sex of my week old chicks???
Does anyone know why 1 chick is yellow compared to the other 7???
( it hasnt got feathery legs either unlike the others)
Many thanks.
