Thanks! I hadn’t thought of the towel. I usually elevate but knew the chicks wouldn’t reach.
No way is momma letting me get a hand near! She’s really protective. It’s ok. We have 4 other relatively trained hens.
No, she’s finished. I put starter feed in and a small waterer. The feed container keeps getting full of shavings so today I tossed some in. They seem to be eating.
Our hen hatched at least 3 chicks 3-4 days ago. I’ve put chick starter in front of her and a small waterer. Will she make sure they eat and drink? I found 1 chick abandoned and nearly dead.
