Okay, so we have this broody bird who has been laying on about eight eggs for the last two weeks. I am thinking sometime this week that I should start seeing some baby chicks. Is it a good idea for the hen to hatch them herself, or do we need do hatch it separate? My second question is if it is a fine idea for the hen to hatch, after it hatches should I separate the chicks into a brooder until they grow feathers? Please let me know.
