Hello we have a hen that constantly goes broody so decided to try letting her hatch some eggs, she was not able to but stayed broody after 21 days, we put some eggs in the incubator and only 1 ended up hatching out of the 3 eggs.
The baby does still have an umbilical scab. After the first day I went and bought 2 similar aged babies so it's not alone. It cries all day unless held or is placed in a little hand bag and carried around. It's 3 days old and could care less about it's friends. We did hold it most of the first day, but it seems so attached that it's in distress whenever we put it down. It pooped its first liquid poop since hatching and has lightly picked at feed and drink. Not sure how to handle this situation.
