hiya,my chicken did get broody as every1 predicted:) she has been sitting on her eggs for about 1.5 weeks..the rooster is lonely but tough luck to him!i was wondering if its ok for him to be with the hen and chicks once they've hatched?or should i keep him away?
any advice highly appreciated!
thanks,Naz
 
Depending upon his disposition, should be fine. If he pecks at any of the chicks, move him out. At times, he may breed the hen or try. No damage should be done.

When I had cochin bantams, the rooster at times let the chicks go under him. They are real peaceful....
 
thanks 4 the advice,i shal c wat he does..he likes 2 chase us so i hope he is nice with them!!
