In the Brooder
MY constantly broody hen has been sitting for 3 weeks and the first chock has hatched. What do I do or not do at this point? It was over 2-3 days that she collected eggs over a weekend and I put her and her eggs in a private pin. Since I started that process I have read that the spacing between the eggs may be a problem. If one is born now I could be expecting more chicks over the next 2 days. Do I need to keep an eye out for anything? Do I just give them access to chick feed and water and let the mama take care of them? They are separated and safe from the other chickens.
