2 of my eggs hatched yesterday (day 20) under my broody so far. There are still a few eggs under her so there are all together in the nesting box. One of the chicks is small (it was a small egg). The other is a big robust baby. The little one is looking a little sickly and the mama hen isn't being very nice to it so I want to move it into a brooder and nurse it a little.
My question is other than some boiled egg what should I do? I don't have an easy source of medicinal stuff. What goes into the electrolyte solution that people talk about? How long can I keep it separated from her and still expect her to accept it as her baby?
Thanks
