Eggs are not due to hatch untill tomorrow one hatched yesterday under my broody. she will not stay on the chick who is lethargic still moves and chirps, do I need to take it away and hand raise it? I am going to try and feed sugar water later when hubby gets up.
I am a mom to three girls an 11year old black lab , 6 chickens and we have 2 horses that board on our property. right now we have a hen sitting on 12 eggs due to hatch april first. have gotten so much from reading this site. I feel now like we can do this baby chick thing.
This is my first hatch. we are actually new to this whole chicken thing. Would not go back though. We rescued 6 chickens one of which went broody we should hatch tomorrow. Can"t wait to see what happens> Any advice to a first time hatcher> the other caviot is I work this weekend 12 hour...
