Crowing
We have a BO hen that has taken to setting three eggs, all three appear viable as of the last candling. She is setting in a nest box which is elevated off the floor of the coop by about 10” or so, and the coop itself is elevated above ground level by about two feet. We have three other hens and one rooster. My questions are: What next? What should we do, given the coop arrangement, with these new chicks? Should we treat them like we have hatchery bought chicks and remove them to a brooder or allow the hen to be the mother? If we remove them will that damage the mother instinct of the hen?
