Once a hen has a fertilized egg, do you let nature take its course and let the hen do everything from incuabation to caring for the chicks after they are hatched or do you bring the chicks inside and put them under the heat lamp?
I would like to get chickens however I work an 8 hour day 5 days a week. Is it possible to have chickens with this schedule? What about in the case of new chicks?
