Hatching
Hello! I've read a lot here but this is my first post!
One of our hens went broody last month and we decided to let her hatch a few eggs out, so I moved her into her own crate on the porch and today is the big day. I heard some peeping and movement under her so I assume they hatched in the last hour. My question is what should I do now? Do they need an extra heat source aside from momma hen? Should I place food and water in the crate with them, or perhaps move them to a larger crate?
