I just discovered one of my hens has been hiding in my hay bales and hatched some chicks! She was broody over summer and I could not break her of it. I guess she got her wish. Anyway, we are into late September and how do I care for momma hen and her chicks? Let her do her thing or take chicks...
This is my first batch of eggs in my new Nuture Right 360. Pipping started this morning at 8 am (Day 20) and first chick hatched by 3 pm. Four others started pipping but stopped ans its now 9 pm. One pip I see the beak poking through 1/4" hole but only moves when I shine the flashlight near it...
