Also have one more question my hen that just hatched her chicks(only 2) is now sitting again. I took the chicks from her bc I didn't have anywhere to put her and the chicks separate so I put them with my chicks that hatched in the incubator. She's now sitting again on eggs... Could this be bc I took away her baby's?
