I have my first broody hen sitting on her eggs and we are about 2 weeks in. I'm planning to let this play out naturally as the flock appears to be getting along well and still laying eggs in the coop. My question is regarding food. Assuming the chicks make it through the hatching phase, do I need to put out chick feed for them to develop correctly? If so, how should I separate that food from the usual pellets for the other layers? They are free ranging chickens so if I have to isolate the chicks, I'll likely have to treat them like store-bought peeps and bring them inside under the lamp... something I'm trying to avoid.
Thanks in advance for the help!
