My young lady decided she wanted to set on some eggs. I moved her to her own home after about a week of her being in with the other hens.
I think some new eggs got mixed in with the bunch.
Thursday of last week I found my first two birds. I also found a dead one. I took them away since she had killed the one and let her set on the rest of the eggs.
The next day I found another one I brought her in to be with the other two.
Now it is Sunday, two days since I found a chick and there is another one out there hatched. She still has about 5 eggs left in her clutch.
Should I take away the newborn and bring her in with the others? Or shoudl I take away the rest of the clutch and give her back the three in the house?
Can I even give her back the chicks I took away, will she accept them?
I am new to this chick hatching business so your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
