    Taking away chicks from its mother?

    Though you might feel bad, don't. She'll forget that she had them and continue on like she was before, and the chicks will be fine. Just be sure you keep them warm with food and water.

    Incubating problems.

    Mystery Chicks!

    I just recently received some eggs from a friend of mine who won them at a chicken show. Well, I got a few to hatch, but I have no idea what they are! One is a yellow chick with feathered feet and a top hat, and there are two others that are black with grey spots on them and clean feet. No combs...
