    Cracked egg emergency day 18

    I will take a picture here in a bit. I put it back under mama. The oozing could have been from another egg they cracked in nesting box. I made the mistake of not moving her when she went broody 🤦‍♀️ so not sure if its her or other hens doing it

    Can I lift my hen to check for chicks and eggs still hatching

    Two babies, one egg seemingly disappeared, but I assume it either fell or was kicked out there is a good lip an barrier so shouldn't have fallen on its own. Waiting for one more egg but think it may be a no go.

    Can I lift my hen to check for chicks and eggs still hatching

    She usually was fine letting me lift her during the process when i needed to remove eggs she would yell at me but never really stood up or tried to run away or attack or get too twitterpatted

    Can I lift my hen to check for chicks and eggs still hatching

    This is my first time letting a broody hatch her own clutch. I heard baby chirping since yesterday , I haven't seen chicks yet, can i lift her to check... I am a nervous wreck I want to minimize chick deaths, I know mother nature will do its thing regardless though.

    Letting a broody hatch and raise chicks with the flock - What do I need to know?

    I have a broody hen and I am ready to let her have her own clutch. I guess I am confused or conflicted about what to do after they hatch, I want to keep them integrated with the flock. Do i need to separate mama and babies though? I just don't know what to do for this part.
