I've been searching on here for my answer, but it is getting dark and I still haven't found it.
My yr old hen just hatched her first 2 eggs!! Hooray! Won't my other hen go after the chicks? Do I need to move the mama and chicks?
Thanks!
This is only my second summer of chicken-dom, they are currently for pets and eggs. I have 2 adult hen, 1 roo and 3 babies that we hatched about a month ago. We let the adults free range in the evenings and all day Sat/Sun while we're home. We have a little less than an acre. How in the world...
