I have a broody hen that has been sitting on her eggs faithfully. My problem is I have a pip and it is due tomorrow!! BUT she has 4 more eggs that are not due till Friday. Do I move the chick when it hatches? I have heard that once one hatches she will get off the other eggs to care for the new...

Mine got a biscuit, a few bugs I found and I cut up potatoes (uncooked) and stuck them on the wire so they could peck at them they loved it!! I get a kick out of watching them fight over them.

Mine got a couple of my home made biscuits from breakfast and I found a wooly worm they had a ball with that one.

I don't plan on covering the run they are locked up at night so I figured fresh air and sunlight is good for them during the daytime. I have enclosed with the chicken wire mesh. We built platforms for the buckets to go on with a board across the front so the eggs shouldn't fall out. The coop...
