I have 2 broodie hens both sitting on 6 eegs each. At the moment they are in a rabbit hutch each(seperated). As its starting to get cooler here in vic aus, should i take our new babies from there mums and put them under heat lamps or do i take mum and babies together. Im a first timer so any advice would be muchly appreciated..thanks..
 
They should be fine in the rabbit houses with the babies as long as it's not falling much below freezing. If it's way below freezing then it's your choice if you want to take them from mom or move her somewhere warmer with them. You could also just hang a heat lamp in the rabbit hutches.
