Babies are all doing good. I have them in a separate pen from the rest of the flock but the big girls can see them. I made a small fenced off area where momma can take them outside. They really love pecking at the ground. Its interesting to watch momma teach them different things.

Good luck clwitty with your hatch! It was a very exciting process for me, i loved it!

Yea it worked! Little guys wouldn't stand still. Lol

Hopefully this posts....pics of my baby chicks

Today is day 21, I now have 10 baby chicks and 3 eggs that are still unhatched. Question....once momma is done hatching eggs, how long will she stay in nest ? Her nest is a layer box about 2 ft off the ground. I'm new at this, how does she get them down or do I?

I now have 7 little chicks. :yiipchick Theres 6 more eggs to go. I am sooo eggcited! Momma is doing so good.

Went out this morning to see how momma was doing, no babies yet but looks like quite a few eggs are pip. ( I believe thats what its called) Now i guess i wait for the zip! Lol :cd :jumpy

Just went out and checked on my momma and her eggs and i have i starting to peck out!

Day 19 for for my eggs! I am so eggcited! :cd

Awwwwww......they are so cute! Congratulations! I can't wait for mine to hatch.

WOW..... Now thats a list! LOL THANKS

How are the babies diibe Russo? Did anymor hatch out?

If she is really protective maybe you should leave them where are. What is the reason your moving them?

Sounds like she will be a good momma! Lol I did read somewhere if you move them to do it at night. I have never hatched chicks before . I have 15 days left before my chicks arrive, gonna be a LONG 15 days. Good luck moving yours.

Russo, Wow thats a lot of babies! Sorry for the one loss :( it will be cute watching them all following the momma around,

Thanks Turk, what you said maks perfect sense. That was what i was thinking all along, momma would take care of babies. I will only interfere if she is a bad momma.

I thought they couldn't eat them because of the calcium in them?

So if mother and chicks are with the rest of the flock, how/what do you feed them if chicks cant eat layer pellets?

I am so happy for you Russo! What an exciting time. I cant wait for mine to hatch. :)

Did your other chickens bother the babies any? Do they stay close to momma? Sorry for all these questions, first timer here,,,lol
