I've removed the 5 baby chicks from Mama because we have one 26 day late pipping chick. Thankfully, my broody mama has returned to sit on her late hatcher.
These chicks were born outside, under mama, can they stay outside in a cage? It's about 90 degrees in their box, they have food and water. Do they need anything else? Will they be okay today without mama at that temperature? I'll return them to her tonight.

Late pipping Baby #6 has made it out! Should I just return the chicks to mama or will she abandon the new chick again?
