i'm new (!)
My broody hen has got 1 chick under her + another fertile egg that is soon to be hatched. She's a pretty good momma bring she is pecking me and defending her chick. Hopefully the other one hatches.
So what should I do after they both hatch?? We are going to put her in her own spot close to the flock but still away so she doesn't feel alone. We've added chick starter food and some water (not deep enough so the chicks drown). What do I do after this? do I let her raise them up until they are grown enough to be by them selves, or...?
