New Chick Momma

[tcromwell]

Hi all! New to the forum and a new chick momma as of today. I've had 3 laying hens for about 5 months and they've been laying for about 4 of those months. One of them got broody and a friend gave us some fertilized eggs for her to sit on. Today, the first one hatched! Now I feel like a fish out of water...feel so unprepared. LOL. I have several questions that I'll post in a separate thread if I don't find answers in previous threads. Open to any and all tips on raising chicks. Looking forward to learning from the group!

Hello, Tammy, and welcome to BYC. I'd provide the hen and chicks a safe place for about a week, feed chick starter and introduce them to the flock once they are fully mobile. Good luck with the new additions.
