Heya !
This is my first time hatching chicks and I'm desperate to get it right. Any advice would be most welcome
I have a mixture of silkie, Australasian, and wyandotte eggs all bantams, under 2 bantam orpingtons who are sat beautifully and who are inseparable. They have approx 2 weeks to go.
I have a run with small mesh for them to attach to their sitting coop, chick crumb, chick waterer (bought some marbles to pop in)
Do I need to get anything else ? Any vitamins or medicated food ?
The run is on grass and their bedding is hempcore and soft hay.
Do you think the mother's will be ok together or would it be wise to get another pen and sitting coop ready in case of any unladylike behaviour ?
Many thanks
