    Momma left her baby :(

    She had 4 eggs, and the 2nd one that hatched the other hens dug into the pen and killed it, and the other eggs were not fully developed and momma abandoned them for her hatched chick :/

    Momma left her baby :(

    I tried a week ago to let them both out with the flock and the other hens were going after it. Should I try to let the baby with the flock now that momma is there too? I'm afraid they will kill it

    Momma left her baby :(

    3 broody hens with newly hatched chick

    3 broody hens with newly hatched chick

    Hello. I have had 3 broody hens sitting on eggs all at the same time. The eggs are in two places in the coop and they sit on both sets of eggs, and each other. I marked the eggs they are sitting on, and went out today to find a new baby chick. They all 3 are trying to lay on it. This is my first...
