Hi all,
Our first time broody hen just hatched 10 little guys for us!
Some were a mix of our Americana roo/ buff orp, barred rock, white rock pen.
The rest were mottled Cochins. They are all adorable!
We fixed her pen up outside with new shavings, and got it ready for them.
We put all out today.
Now they are in a nest box hiding under her.
Will they be ok outside?
They have her for heat. Didn't know if we should bring them in or not???
It may get down to 50 tonight?
Its been getting cooler at night and warmer during day.
Any suggestions?!
We have never had a hen hatch before.
Thanks,
Angela
