    Newly hatched chicks

    I have a silkie cockerel and a variety of hens. These chicks just arrived. The grey and the large yellow are both Buff Sussex x Silkie. The small yellow is a a pekin x silkie.

    Separate mama from her babies or not?

    I currently have two foster mamas. I don’t (yet) have a cockerel and when they went broody, I found them impossible to “break” - so I went and bought them newly hatched baby chicks. Both mamas are Araucanas. Great layers - until they go broody. Then theyre just hopeless. Anyway, Mama 1 is doing...
