So today is day 23 and 2 chicks have hatched successfully.
But the mom, Lola keeps pecking the chicks heads, is this normal?
I think she does it because one of the chicks if very active and is running around all the time and she wants her to get back under her. But here is another problem, somehow one of the eggs that never doveloped had broke open and Lola started eating it. I was thinking that there might still be a chick in it so i tucked it back under her. I went back about 6 hours later to check on her and the egg had been broken open, and Lola was eating it. The chicks got some of it on them too and it has made their fur all stuck together. What should i do? And one more thing the yolk and stuff from the broken egg and gotten one of the developed eggs stuck to Lola's underside.
The egg is due to hatch anytime now and it just wont come out of her fur, BTW she is a silkie. I dont know what to do. Can anyone help? Thanks.
