    When to put newly harched chicks with mom of 3 five day old chicks?

    We had a broody hen so we let her sit on a clutch. 3 hatched on day 21 and she stopped sitting. We removed the eggs and placed them in an incubator. 1 just hatched! When should I put the incubator chick with mommy hen and the other 3 babies?

    3 week old Cornish cross gasping for air...

    I have a 3 week old Cornish cross that just started laying around gasping for air this evening. I am new to chickens and have no idea what this is.
