    Need advice on hen hatching eggs not sure babies can get out of

    This is Jethro. He turned 1 year old this spring. He is a very good rooster. He always lets the ladies eat first, he tells them when he has found food, sees danger, and always dances for the ladys and waits for the girls to submit before he mates, no feather pulling, or missing back feathers on...

    I put hay around her. She brought all babies out this morning. She hatched all 15 of her 15 of her eggs. What my luck to have a 100% hatch from a 7 month old hen. The 16th egg was laid 1.5 weeks ago by another hen. It was a dud. Moved her to a secluded location as all the hens were pecking...

    I lifted a board up and so far I see 6 babies. She lets me pet her and pick up the babies and doesn't fuss. She is my baby girl. I hatched her in January this year. She loves to be held and petted. I may put hay in there. I put water and chick feed close to the exit for when she wants to come out.

    Yeah I am worried about the ones that are still hatching. I would be really surprised if all 16 hatched. As she is a very small RIR cross. But peaking through the slats on the porch she has them all covered, how I don't know. I was thinking placing hay around her so they could get out.

    I free range my hens. And only this year have I let a few hens hatch eggs instead of incubating. I have a young hen who has laid her eggs under my front porch in the box that keeps the dirt from going in to the foundation vent. It is a out 4 to 5 inches deep. Chicks have been hatching since...
