I am pretty new to chickens, and have never had ones that were hatched by our hens. Well, we had a broody one, but she seemed to me that she was off the egss more than on, so I didn't think anything would come out of it. Soo.. I couldn't believe my eyes when I had two babies when I went out there to feed them today!! So exciting. HOWEVER, I am not ready to have baby chickens in the house... And I have too many roosters out there that don't think they would stand a chance. So, my question is, could i put them in a separate spot in the coop? We have a pretty small spot in there that I could fit mom and the babies and some food and water. Would this be okay, or does mom need more space? Also, what kind of food? Medicated or food aimed toward mom?
Thank you for any and all info. I need to move them soon as the rooster were poking their head in the nest box when she came out to eat today.
Thank you!!
