The only other time I've let a broody hen do her work, I had to take one of her chicks away when they were a couple days old because it was injured, so I took 3 of her babies so the injured one had a friend (She had like 12 so she didn't miss them trust me lol) and about a week later, I let her...
The chick is out! But my new question is, will I be able to hand it back to it's mother? I have no chick's in the brooder for it to be friends with, my only other chick's are with their mother
She's been chirping and moving around, and I put vegetable oil on the membrane to hopefully prevent shrink wrapping, but how do I tell if it shrink wraps?
I'm heading to bed, I've got the chick in the incubator with a damp towel, and my sister is going to check on it every couple of hours to make sure the humidity stays up, I'll update yall in the morning
