I have a dark brahma hen (her name is Apple Bottom) who just went broody for the first time. She's sitting on a handful of fertilized eggs I got from a neighbor. She's had the eggs for one day now...
Questions
1-when should I move her to her own space? Does it need to be indoors or can it be a little chicken tractor designed for 1-2 birds outside?
2-How do I ensure she is getting good enough nutrition?
3-When will I know if the eggs are "growing" little chicks?
4-What do I feed the hen and the babies once they are born?
Thanks so much! I'm a nervous little chicken mama
