Help!
My second chick hatched but I just found it by itself. The hen moved a little and it was cold, but alive. I put it back under her. Can I warm it under a brooder plate to dry it out overnight? I reduced the amount of space she has for the night & moved food/water so she can reach it without getting up, hopefully she won't get off it again tonight. I need it to dry out and get a little energy.
What would you do?
