Hatching 5/20/13

[rebschix]

I have 6 eggs hatching under a broody girl, and 12 in an incubator.....should I put all of them under momma? What food should I give them? I don't want momma eating medicated food. Should I offer unmediated food and let momma eat it too? Does anyone have any advice? I'm thinking about putting a small kennel in the coop for her and the babies. Will that work?:/

I wouldn't put the ones in the incubator under her because that might be too many eggs. The medicated food just helps them grow faster. I don't know why it would hurt to let the hen eat it too. You can try the kennel but I'm not sure if it'll work.
