After hunting for days I finally was able to follow a broody hen back to the nest where I switched out the eggs with infertile ones. 3 weeks later after I assume she has been "brooding" the infertile eggs I was taking her food and water and hear a peeping noise. Sure enough there is a baby. Apparently a snake ate the eggs I had placed there and one of the other hens laid another egg for her to brood. Since I only have the one baby (which I pray to God isn't a rooster) do I HAVE to buy chick food? I hate getting a 25-bag of the stuff just for one baby. But I want it to be healthy so I'll wait to hear back from the experts....
