I have 6 bantam chickens, 2 cochins that have gone broody. I had been hoping they would....in July. Now it's December and this week both will hatch their chicks. They live in an enclosed coop with pine shavings for bedding, 2heat lamps, and a covered outside run. I believe it's possible to let mother nature take over and that the chicks will be fine, but I'm concerned. What else should I do? Do chicks being born with 6 adult chickens need a place they can escape to? It's my first flick, and I don't know what else I can do, any ideas? Suggestions? I live in the Midwest and temps/wind chills can drop below zero.
Thanks!!
