Do mother hens teach chicks to drink???

[anschuck]

I have a couple hens that have just hatched a few chicks and I have some hatching in the
incubator that I plan to put under them. My question is whether these mother hens will teach
the chicks how to drink or do I have to dip their beaks like I do with mail order chicks.
Thanks, Chuck

Yes, Hens teach their chicks to eat and drink...
