We have two hens that are both brooding in our chicken coop right now. One has about 10 eggs under her and the other has about 6 and just saw today a baby chick. This is our first time letting our hens brood and hatch the eggs. We have been hatching in our incubator with our quail eggs.
So this being our first time my question and concern is with our nesting box's being up in the air with a ramp they can walk down will this be ok for the chicks. Also what about them get feed and water??
Or should I take the chicks out as she hatchs them and put them in a brooder with feed and water?? Thanks for everyone's help
