Chirping
So I have a broody buff Orpington sitting on 10 eggs. My coop is 4 foot above the ground with deep litter method. My question are:
1 - when she hatches these out will they make it out to the food?
2 - should I move her and the eggs into the run at ground level close to the food thus seperating her from getting additional eggs?
3 - if I shouldn’t move her should I bring her food and water up to the nesting box
4 - when is a good age to move the chicks to their new home at my sister in laws?
