Chicken Behavior

[lll1422]

I was wondering if the chickens that were incubated by humans rather than naturally by the chicken had any differences at all, regarding interaction with humans or other birds , or even the littlest thing.
Thank you very much.

I have not noticed any difference in chicks hatched from incubators as compared to hatching under a broody hen; a single chick hatched in an incubator and raised alone may well have trouble interacting with other birds. I'm not positive about chickens, but I know that with many bird species this is true.
