I left a broody chicken on three eggs thinking they wouldnt hatch but today i looked and there was a baby chick. So im thinking the other three will hatch soon then but what do i need to do?
Ive been told to leave the chicks where they are in the coop with another hen and a cock, The hen thats hatched the eggs isnt the mother either..
Ive also read to take the chicks out and put then in an incubater type set up with heat lamp and stuff..
Whats the best way to go, also got some chick crumb from pet shop so is that ok for food?
Cheers , Stu
