I had left about five eggs in the coop for the past month......my silkie hen had been sitting on them for awhile but i wasn't sure if she was broodie...she would get up occasionally and take a walk and etc.......Well i went out today and there are 3 baby chicks under her.....Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww![Love :love :love](/styles/byc-smilies/love.gif)
Now here is my question......They are in a coop with the rooster....he has free access to the run and coop.....Will he bother them once they start running around?
Also the food and water is up on a ledge...the babies could not get up there if they tried.
Should i bring them in? I would prefer to leave them with mama if i could.
Please let me kwow asap.....
Thanks so much,
Jodie
