Thank you for the warm welcome! The babies are doing well I think. A gal at the feed store suggested I mash up some scrambled eggs and put it in with them so I did that. They gave me a little peck but are mostly interested in sleeping. The air flow is fine and I did put a light above them...

Just wanted to say thank you to Mountain Peeps and TwoCrows. Your support was so appreciated. I have two sweet little chickies in the garage and they seem to be comfortable and doing well. Thanks a bunch!

Me again. Well, I just took two of the chicks and I feel kinda bad but even if I weren't afraid of them getting hurt I still wouldn't have anyplace to put the mama and chicks together. I put them in a deep box with some shavings. I know they can go for about 72 hrs. before they need food. I...

I'm totally new to posting and hatching eggs. I've had chickens for a couple of years but never let them hatch out before. Immediate problem is that they are hatching as I type and I think the hen may be harming them. One baby is running around, but I found one with it's poor little head...
